Description
Mount Fuji rises against a deep blue sky, its lower slopes in shadowed blue-grey and its upper flank tinged pink-orange in the light, with snow tracing the ridgelines. In the foreground a snow-laden pine bough curves across the upper portion of the composition, its trunk wrapped in snow, above a shoreline dusted with snow and patches of dark grass; the still water below faintly mirrors the mountain. "Clearing after a Snowfall on Mount Fuji (Tagonoura Beach)," a color woodblock print by Kawase Hasui, 1932.
