The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A Japanese woodblock print depicting a body of water with boats and a mountain in the background. The water is blue-green and calm, with several boats scattered across it. The boats are mostly orange with patterned designs on them. One large boat in the foreground is filled with what appears to be cargo. In the background, there is a small island with trees and several masts of ships. Further in the background, a large snow-capped mountain is visible. The sky above is a gradient of yellow and blue. There is a vertical rectangle in the top-left corner containing Japanese text. The print has a white border around it. The overall scene depicts a serene and peaceful atmosphere.
