冨嶽三十六景 隅田川関屋の里|Sekiya Village on the Sumida River (Sumidagawa Sekiya no sato), from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjūrokkei)
Katsushika Hokusai
ca. 1830–32 · Woodblock print; ink and color on paper · Asian Art
As the distant snow-capped Fuji turns red at dawn, three riders on horseback gallop at full speed along the bank of the Sumida River. It is almost cinematic: the rhythmic repetition of the riders on the winding road contrasts with the solitary static mountain.
