Description
A line of six brown-silhouetted hikers, some carrying packs or poles, files along a green ridge toward a large gray mountain streaked with patches of snow, set against a deep blue sky. The scene is rendered in flat, simplified blocks of color typical of woodblock printing, with rolling green hills in the foreground. Woodblock print by Umetaro Azechi, titled "Unknown - hiking."
