Description
Mount Fuji rises pale blue-grey above layered hills under a sky of soft clouds, its snow-capped peak the highest point in the composition. Below, a wide, meandering river with sandbanks cuts through a golden-brown plain, with two small boats and figures poling along the water. The palette is dominated by blues and browns, giving the scene a calm, expansive, open-air feeling; woodblock print by Kawase Hasui, titled "Mt. Fuji from Banyu River."
