Katsushika Hokusai

Woodblock print with a beige background. A body of water spans the bottom half. A small island juts out into the water on the left with a sandy beach and shallow pools of water. A herd of dark animals, likely cattle, stand on the beach. A group of buildings on the left sit on a hillside covered in greenery, with a steep cliff on the right side of the buildings. A tall mountain sits on the distant right. A boat floats on the right side of the water. The sky transitions from dark blue at the top to light yellow at the horizon. Japanese text appears in the top right and bottom right corners.
