冨嶽三十六景 甲州石班沢|Kajikazawa in Kai Province (Kōshū Kajikazawa), from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjūrokkei) is a 1831 ink by Katsushika Hokusai, a Japonisme work, depicting Mountain, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows two people working by a rocky riverbank. One stands on a ledge, pulling on a rope tied to a bundle. The other sits below, also handling the rope. Behind them, a snow-capped mountain looms over flat, misty land. The colors are soft—blues, grays, and a hint of red in their clothing. The mountain is Mount Fuji, a famous landmark in Japan. The artist used simple lines and shading to show texture in the rocks and water. Next, look up Katsushika Hokusai to see more of his work.
Katsushika Hokusai spent his life in Edo, now Tokyo, where he drew and carved prints for a living.
