Man-Pai / Hiroshige: Inume Pass

 

Hiroshige: Inume Pass - Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (1858)

Here Mount Fuji is presented as seen from Inume Pass, on Kai province.  The snow capped Fuji rises over a range of other mountains that dominate a ravine where the Fuefuki River runs. Over the ravine we see clouds that separate the foreground from the distant mountains. On the right side three travelers climb the mountain. Ahead, two figures seem to admire the view.
