Senju in Musashi Province (Bushū Senju), from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjūrokkei)

Katsushika Hokusai

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A Japanese woodblock print depicts a scene with a horse and people. The horse is brown with a blue-green saddle blanket and a red harness. The horse faces right, with its head turned to the right. A person wearing a blue top and white pants leads the horse with a green rope. Three people sit on the ground to the left, two holding red parasols. A columned structure, resembling ancient Greek architecture, stands behind the horse. In the background, a mountain with a pointed peak, possibly Mount Fuji, is visible. Rolling hills with green trees and yellow grass stretch out. A body of water is also seen. The sky fades from dark blue at the top to light yellow. Japanese characters are written vertically on the left side.
