Cushion Pine at Aoyama (Aoyama enza no matsu), from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjūrokkei)
Katsushika Hokusai Japanese
Not on view
Men picnic beside the famed cushion pine in the garden of Ryūganji Temple, while a father, passing along the garden's footpath with his son, motions to Fuji in the distance. The cushion pine's swelling form and green coloration create a formal dialogue with Fuji's elegant arched summit and mottled green side.
