Description
Snow-capped Mt. Fuji rises above a dark ridge on the far shore of a teal-blue bay, its lower slopes wrapped in pale grey haze. In the foreground, thatched-roof houses cluster along a sandy shoreline beneath green hills and a blossoming pink cherry tree, with two small figures walking near the water's edge. The composition is divided into flat horizontal bands of sky, mountain, water, and shore in muted teals, pinks, and greens, with Japanese characters and a red seal inscribed vertically at the lower left. Woodblock print, "Mt. Fuji at Tateho" by Takeji Asano.
