Description
A jagged, angular mountain peak in deep indigo-blue, its rocky face streaked with bold white patches of snow, dominates the composition against a plain cream background. In the lower left, a single dark green pine tree stands in silhouette, its pointed form echoing the peak's angularity. Rendered in this spare palette of indigo, white, and green with no other figures present, the woodblock print Mt Hodata by Kawase Hasui conveys a stark, quiet mood; no date is recorded for the piece.
