Fujimigahara in Owari Province (Bishū Fujimigahara), from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjūrokkei)

Katsushika Hokusai

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A man wearing a loincloth works on a large circular object. The object has a cage-like frame made of wood. The man sits on one side and another man stands on the other side. A tree, a stone wall, and a field are to the left. Rice patties are visible in the background. A mountain, likely Mount Fuji, is visible on the horizon. A tree line stretches across the middle of the background. The sky fades from dark blue at the top to light pink at the horizon. Japanese text is in a white rectangle on the left.
