Description
Mount Fuji rises against a teal sky, its slopes streaked orange-pink with the light of dawn, while blue-shadowed foothills descend to a still lake in matching teal-blue tones. Gnarled pine trees with dark green foliage frame the scene on both sides, their trunks and branches silhouetted in the foreground; a faint reflection of the mountain's rosy glow touches the water's surface. *Dawn over Lake Shoji*, a shikishiban color woodblock print by Kawase Hasui, 1930.
