About this work

This print shows a dramatic mountain rising from choppy water, with a small boat carrying a rider on horseback. The sky is heavy with dark clouds, while bright banners and flags flutter on the boat. In the background, a larger ship sails near a temple-like structure on the shore. The artist used bold colors and sharp lines to create movement in the scene. The horse and rider look ready to rush forward, while the boat seems to struggle against the wind. Look up Tsukioka Yoshitoshi to see more of his dynamic prints.
