Description
Mt. Fuji's snow-covered peak rises pale against a soft blue sky, glimpsed through a dense screen of tall, bare-trunked pines and firs in the foreground. The forest floor is patched with snow and dried grasses in tan and rust tones, with darker evergreen boughs framing the sides. This woodblock print, "Mt. Fuji from Lake Yamanaka (Yamanaka no Fuji)" by Ito Takashi, renders the scene in a muted palette of blues, greens, and browns with no figures present.
