Katsushika Hokusai

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A serene Japanese harbor scene with a mountain in the background. The harbor has blue water with exposed sand on the near shore. A stone wall runs along the water's edge. A group of people are gathered on the beach to the left. A sailboat with a single mast and a triangular sail floats on the right side. A group of buildings on a small hill on the left. Lush green foliage surrounds the buildings. A large snow-capped mountain is on the right side behind the sailboat. The sky fades from dark blue at the top to light yellow at the horizon. A tall, thin rectangle with Japanese writing on the right side. A square and round red stamp are on the bottom right.
