Katsushika Hokusai

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a traditional Japanese woodblock print. The print shows an angled view of a partially submerged barge in the water. The barge is wooden with green roofing and is listing severely to one side. In the background, a large mountain, likely Mount Fuji, rises in the distance on the right. The mountain is snow-capped and conical in shape. On the left side of the print, there is a vertical block of Japanese text. The foreground features water and grassy areas, with some trees visible. The color palette includes shades of blue, green, beige, and black.
