Description
A dark conical mountain, its lower slopes wrapped in white clouds, rises against a pale peach-and-blue dusk sky. In the foreground, silhouetted conifers and a thatched-roof house with a single lit window stand at the edge of dark, flattened fields, rendered almost entirely in deep indigo-blue tones. Kawase Hasui, *Near Susono (Susono fukin)*, 1930, color woodblock print.
