Description
Mount Fuji's snow-capped peak rises against a blue sky streaked with pale orange clouds, its lower slopes wrapped in mist above a dark ridge of hills. In the foreground, three tall pine trees with dark, gnarled branches frame the right side of the composition, overlooking a calm lake where a small sailboat and a rowboat drift near the shore, with a red-roofed house tucked among the trees at bottom right. This woodblock print, "Fuji from Lake Shoji" by Takahashi Shotei, renders the scene in blues, greys, and soft oranges, with the artist's seal in red at the lower left.
