Katsushika Hokusai

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A blue and beige colored Japanese woodblock print. The print depicts a body of water with boats near the bottom and middle of the image. The boats are small, with one in the foreground featuring a flat bottom and a curved bow. Several other boats are visible near the center and on the left. In the background, there is a small island and a distant mountain, which appears to be Mount Fuji, on the horizon. The mountain is triangular and has snow on top. The sky above is blue and cloudy. There are Japanese characters written vertically on a white rectangle on the top left. Two seals are present on the bottom left. The entire scene is framed by a thin beige border.
