View of Mount Fuji from Seven-ri Beach, Province of Sagami (Sōshū: Shichi-ri ga hama), from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjūrokkei)

Utagawa Hiroshige

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A mountain stands in the distance, snow-capped and cone-shaped. The mountain appears in a scene depicting a beach. The beach is on the right side. A steep green hill leads down to the beach from the right. A body of water separates the beach from a distant shoreline with low mountains and a small tree-covered island. A man and two children are on the beach looking out at the water. A canopy with a hanging lantern and some people are on the right. There are two vertical red banners on the left and right with Japanese characters. The sky is blue with white clouds near the mountain and yellow on the horizon. The image has a beige border with rough edges.
