Description
A snow-capped Mount Fuji rises beyond green hills, framed between the dark trunks of two large trees and overhanging branches in the foreground, with its reflection mirrored in the still blue-green waters of the lake below. A pale sky with faint clouds stretches above the mountain, and no human figures appear in the scene. *Winter at Lake Ashino (Ashinoko no fuyu)*, color woodblock print by Kawase Hasui, 1949.
