The Waterwheel at Onden (Onden no suisha), from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjūrokkei)
A woodblock print depicting a scene with a large waterwheel. The waterwheel is on the left side of the image and is made of light-colored wood with a series of spokes. It appears to be in motion, with water splashing at the bottom. Three men are standing on the right side of the waterwheel, one of them bending over. They are dressed in traditional Japanese clothing. A body of water and a mountain with snow on its peak are in the background. The mountain is symmetrical and conical in shape. There are green bushes in the foreground on the right side. A thatched roof is above the waterwheel. The sky above is blue and fades to dark at the top.
