Man-Pai / Hiroshige: Mitsumata

Hiroshige: Mitsumata Wakarenofuchi - Edo Hakkei (1857)

Here we look southwest over the widest stretch of the Sumida River, set against a striking view of Mount Fuji. The vantage point is from the east bank of the river, a bit above Mannen Bridge. A junk sailing in the foreground, a snow-capped Mount Fuji in the background.
