Viewing the Sunset over Ryōgoku Bridge from the Onmaya Embankment (Onmayagashi yori Ryōgokubashi sekiyō o miru), from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjūrokkei)

Katsushika Hokusai

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A wooden boat with a curved bow and flat stern, carrying people wearing traditional Japanese clothing and head coverings, is in the foreground. The boat is on a body of water with blue waves. A long pole extends from the boat into the air. In the background, a bridge spans the water, and a mountain, likely Mount Fuji, is visible. The sky transitions from dark at the top to light-colored near the horizon. A small structure with a slanted roof is on the left side. Some Japanese characters are written vertically on the top left.
