Description
A snow-capped Mount Fuji rises against a pale pink-and-blue sky, its slopes streaked with blue-grey shadow lines tracing the mountain's ravines. Below, a dense band of dark green pine trees lines the far shore of a curving blue river, with pale sandy banks and patches of grass in the foreground; no figures appear in the scene. Kawase Hasui's 1942 color woodblock print "Mount Fuji, Oshino (Oshino no Fuji)" renders the mountain and water in flat, muted color planes with a red seal and vertical Japanese text at lower left.
