Description
Mt. Fuji seen from Kumomi on the Izu Peninsula's western coast — a view across Suruga Bay to the mountain's distinctive profile. Hiratsuka's 1970 woodblock captures Fuji from this western angle, the mountain rising beyond the bay's water in a composition that emphasizes distance and the mountain's isolation against the sky. The Izu Peninsula's coast provided him with maritime foregrounds for his Fuji subjects.
