Picture of Minamoto no Yoritomo's Hunt on the Slopes of Mount Fuji
A colorful Japanese woodblock print depicts a chaotic hunting scene. In the center, a large black boar with a white snout and red eyes charges right, pursued by hunters on foot and horseback. The boar has an arrow protruding from its side. Several dogs, including a black and yellow spotted dog, a white dog with black spots, and a yellow dog, chase after the boar. Hunters wear traditional Japanese clothing in shades of blue, red, and orange, with some holding bows and arrows. A large tree with a thick trunk and branches is on the left. In the background, a mountain with a snow-capped peak rises above green hills and trees. The sky above is blue. The entire scene is framed by a white border. The artwork's title and artist's name appear vertically on the right side. Japanese characters are written vertically throughout the image.
