Utagawa Hiroshige

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a mountainous landscape with a large mountain in the background and a waterfall in the foreground. The large mountain is centered in the background, with a pointed peak and a conical shape. It has snow on its upper portion. Two thin black lines extend diagonally from the top of the mountain. In the midground, there are several smaller mountains covered in trees. A winding path runs along the top of the mountains on the left side. In the foreground, a waterfall cascades down a rocky slope, surrounded by trees and bushes. The waterfall is white, and the rocks are gray. There are two vertical orange rectangles with black Japanese text in the top-right and bottom-left corners. The background sky is light yellow with some clouds.
