Description
Mount Fuji's snow-streaked peak rises pale blue-white against a grey sky marked with fine vertical lines indicating falling rain, its lower slopes wrapped in mist. Below, a vermillion torii gate and a stone lantern stand among dark green cedar or cypress trees on a ridge, with layered blue-grey hills receding behind them. Kawase Hasui, "Mt. Fuji in Rain (Ame no Fuji)," 1883, color woodblock print.
