Mountain Teahouse, from The Mist of of Sandara (Kyōka Sandara-kasumi) 狂歌さむたらかすみ
This volume is an anthology of kyōka verses selected by the poet Sandara and privately published by the Kasumi poetry club in 1798. It includes one print each by Hokusai, Kitao Shigemasa (1739–1820), and Hasegawa Settan (1778–1843). The scene by Hokusai depicts daily life in a rural setting—a woodcarver at work, several female assistants, and a traveler resting—with a view of Mount Fuji in the background.
A light and elegant touch typifies Hokusai's work of the Sōri period, early in his career. His signature reads Hokusai Sōri.
