Katsushika Hokusai

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a mountain with a pointed peak. The side of the mountain closest to the viewer is reddish orange. The peak and upper portion are brown with white streaks, likely snow. The base of the mountain has two distinct color gradations; the lower section is dark green and the top section appears to have numerous small dark green trees. A white vertical rectangle on the upper left contains unreadable black writing. The background features a blue sky with white and light blue clouds.
