Description
A red sun sits low over a distant, snow-capped Mount Fuji, its curved form echoed by a grey cloud band above; a curving shoreline with a sandy beach and pine-covered hills leads the eye toward the mountain across calm blue-green water. In the foreground, a temple or shrine complex with a stone retaining wall and dark, wind-swept pines occupies the lower left, while columns of black calligraphy fill the upper portion of the sheet. Rendered in muted washes of indigo, ochre, and grey with the single accent of vermillion for the sun, this 1827 shikishiban surimono by Utagawa Kuniyoshi is titled "Dawn over Mount Fuji and Susaki," from the series *Five Views of Mount Fuji (Fuji goban no uchi)*.
