One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku hyakkei, nihen) 富嶽百景二編

Not on view

The foreground's steep mountain path, sharply delineated and occupied with figures, contrasts with the much lighter gray image of an inlet with boats, a village, and Mount Fuji in the distance.

The image of a dragon ascending with clouds surrounding Fuji was considered an omen of worldly success.
