Mount Fuji fills the sheet, turned red by the morning sun in early autumn, when a southerly wind clears the sky. Hokusai reduces the scene to a few bands of colour: red slopes streaked with snow, a dark green forest at the base, and a blue sky rippled with rows of small clouds. It belongs to his Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji.
Look closer
Early impressions are much paler, the rare "Pink Fuji"; later printings deepened the red and added a block of blue over the clouds at the horizon.
