Reflection in Lake at Misaka in Kai Province (Kōshū Misaka suimen), from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjūrokkei)

Katsushika Hokusai

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A large mountain, light orange at the base and white at the top, fills the upper center of the image. A dark blue sky transitions to light blue and then light gray over the mountain. The mountain's left slope is obscured by trees and green hills. A body of water extends across the bottom. A reflection of the mountain appears in the water. A small yellow boat with a single passenger is on the right side of the water. Green hills are on the right and left and extend toward the center. Trees line the edges of the hills and are interspersed on their slopes. A group of buildings is nestled among the trees on the left. A column of Japanese writing is in the upper-left corner. The image fades to beige around the edges.
