ca. 1833–34 · Woodblock print · Asian Art

The view of Mount Fuji is virtually unobstructed from the place called Hara (literally "field"). The mountain's majestic height is emphasized as its peak extends beyond the frame of the picture. Two women, accompanied by a male attendant in traveling dress, seem awestruck by the breathtaking view.
