Description
This print, with a Japanese title translating roughly as "Left side of Umezawa in Sagami Province" from the Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, depicts the Umezawa coastal lowlands looking toward Fuji across Sagami Bay. The view likely shows cranes wading in the marshes or reed beds with the mountain rising beyond — a combination of wildlife and volcanic grandeur typical of Hokusai's treatments of the Sagami coastal region.
