Description
A tall wooden lattice-timber structure (weir posts) crosses the mid-ground, framing a distant view of Mt. Fuji's blue peak beyond a dark band of water and trees. In the foreground, a man in a blue robe leads a laden reddish-brown packhorse with grey mane and tail, while two seated figures in wide round hats rest at lower left; green fields, low hills, and scattered pines fill the middle distance under a deep indigo-to-pale gradient sky. Katsushika Hokusai, "The Weir at Senju in Musashi Province" (from Thirty-Six Views of Mt. Fuji), color woodblock print, 1830.
