Description
A snow-capped mountain rises across a stretch of deep blue water, its slopes streaked with pink and pale blue shading beneath a heavy, dark storm sky; bands of rain fall over the distant peaks while the horizon glows orange and yellow at the edge of the clouds. In the foreground at left, a reddish-brown dirt path switchbacks up a green, tree-covered cliff, with a small fenced marker near the top of the ridge. Vertical Japanese text and a red artist's seal appear at the right edge, with a title cartouche at the lower left; woodblock print, artist Oda Kazuma, "Daison Hoki in the Distance," date unknown.
