This print shows a quiet beach scene with calm blue water and a small island in the distance. A lone man in dark clothes walks with two children near the shore. In the background, a snow-capped mountain rises behind rolling hills. On the right, a wooden building with a thatched roof has two women sitting inside, and a sign with Japanese characters hangs outside. The artist used bright colors to show the contrast between the blue water and green hills. The mountain in the back is Mount Fuji, a famous landmark in Japan. Next, look up Utagawa Hiroshige to see more of his work.
