Tama River in Musashi Province (Bushū Tamagawa), from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjūrokkei)

Katsushika Hokusai

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A mountain with a pointed peak covered in snow rises in the background. The sky behind it fades from dark blue at the top to light blue then beige near the horizon. A body of water stretches across the image horizontally with gentle waves. A small boat floats on the water near the right edge. The foreground shows a beige shore with trees on either side and two people and a horse on the left. A beige rectangle with vertical black writing is on the top left. The image is a woodblock print with visible texture and color gradations.
