Striking Views of Mount Fuji (Fuyō kikan) 芙蓉奇観

Yamada Sadazane 山田貞実

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a long, narrow painting of a landscape. The painting is on a beige background and depicts a mountain with a pointed summit. The mountain is blue and white at the top and green towards the bottom. In front of the mountain is a body of water and then a field with trees and buildings. There are several lines of Japanese writing on the right and left sides of the painting. The painting appears to be done in a traditional Japanese style. The background behind the painting is white and appears to be made of four panels.
