Fuji Seen from Hodogaya on the Tokaido

Travelers rest among tall, twisting pines while a loaded horse passes in the foreground. In Hokusai’s print, snow-capped Mount Fuji rises between the trunks, with deep blue treetops and sky set against a pale landscape and warm orange-brown figures.

• Distinctive bends in the pine trunks and the mountain outline provide recognizable shapes.
• Repeated clusters of pine needles and broad pale areas share similar colors and marks.
