Description
Mount Fuji rises pale blue-grey against a soft sky, its snow-streaked peak overlooking a wide lake below. In the foreground, a grassy slope in autumnal gold descends toward the shore, dotted with reddish-pink flowering shrubs and a few dark trees at left. No figures appear in the scene, which is rendered in muted, atmospheric tones typical of a woodblock print by Kawase Hasui titled "Lake Yamanaka - Fudozaka."
