Description
From Inuma Ridge in the Koshu (Kai Province) mountains, Mount Fuji appears across a wide panorama of the Kanto plain — the mountain visible from exceptional distance due to the elevation of the viewpoint, its profile sharpened by the mountain air. Shotei renders the ridgeline view with the foreground of mountain vegetation and the broad middle distance of the plain below, the mountain rising beyond in the characteristic Fuji-from-a-high-point composition. The Koshu location places this in the tradition of mountain-pass Fuji views that were among the most valued in the canon.
