Description
A woodblock print in a palette of indigo, green, and pale ochre depicting a hilly rural landscape with thatched-roof huts clustered in a valley among terraced or patterned fields. Several small figures in traveler's dress walk along a path winding through the hills, while one figure descends a slope near the upper left; a solitary pine grows atop a bare hill on the right. Mount Fuji appears as a small pale triangular peak in the distance under a dark indigo band along the top edge, framed between the sloping hills — Katsushika Hokusai, "Fuji from Shimo Meguro #25," woodblock print.
