Surugadai in Edo (Tōto Sundai), from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjūrokkei)

Katsushika Hokusai

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A Japanese woodblock print depicts a landscape with a large tree on a hillside to the left, and a roofed building to the right. The hillside has yellow grass and green bushes, with people walking on a path at the bottom. A mountain, Mount Fuji, is visible in the background. The sky is a gradient from dark blue to light orange. A group of people are walking on the path, some carrying parasols or baskets. A vertical text box with Japanese characters is on the top left. The image shows a serene scene with traditional Japanese architecture and people going about their daily activities.
