Katsushika Hokusai

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a landscape with a mountain in the background. The mountain is conical and snow-capped, with a flat top. In the foreground, there are several people dressed in traditional Japanese clothing. They are standing or walking near wooden structures that resemble torii gates. A body of water is visible behind the people and gates. On the right side of the image, there is a grassy hill with trees and bushes. The sky above is blue at the top and fades to yellow towards the horizon. Japanese characters are written vertically on a white rectangle in the upper left corner.
