Katsushika Hokusai

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A landscape scene with a large tree on a hillside to the left, and a building to the right. The tree has a thick trunk and branches that extend to the left. The leaves are green. The building has a tiled roof and white walls. It appears to be a traditional Japanese structure. In the background, there are more trees and hills, with a mountain visible in the distance. The sky is blue at the top and fades to yellow towards the horizon. Several people are depicted in the scene, some carrying items. A small stream or river runs through the scene. The overall color palette is muted, with shades of green, blue, and yellow. The image includes Japanese characters in a vertical rectangle on the left side.
