Description
A snow-capped Mount Fuji rises above a green forested headland in the distance, with a sailboat passing beneath it on calm water. In the foreground a moored wooden boat rests on the shore, its mast and rigging visible against the pale blue-green sky and water. The palette is soft and muted — blues, greens, and grays — giving the scene a quiet, still morning mood.
