Fuji—The Tama River, Musashi Province, from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjūrokkei)

Katsushika Hokusai

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A woodblock print depicting a river scene. A snow-capped mountain is in the background, centered, and appears blue against a blue sky that fades to a lighter shade near the horizon. A body of water occupies much of the lower half. A small boat with a single passenger sits on the water near the right side. A riverbank covered in blue-green foliage slopes down from the bottom-right corner to the middle. A dog and a person stand on a brown bank. A tree-lined strip of land is on the left side of the water. A white vertical rectangle containing Japanese characters is on the top-left side. The edges of the print are beige.
