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

Katsushika Hokusai

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a serene landscape with a large body of water, a snow-capped mountain in the background, and a boat on the water. In the foreground, the water's edge features a sandy shore with some greenery and trees. A person on a donkey is walking along the shore. A small boat with a pointed bow is floating on the water, loaded with what appears to be a cargo. The snow-capped mountain, likely Mount Fuji, rises in the background, set against a blue sky with a gradient that darkens towards the top. The overall scene presents a tranquil atmosphere, with a focus on natural elements.
