Katsushika Hokusai

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a landscape drawing of a body of water with a shoreline. The water takes up most of the image and has some darker areas near the shoreline. A shoreline curves from the right side of the image towards the center at the top. On the shoreline on the right are several trees, and several buildings are depicted on the lower right and middle of the image. The drawing appears to be on aged paper with discoloration and stains visible throughout. The drawing style is in the form of simple lines. The image is a print by Katsushika Hokusai.
