詩人と富士山『春雨集』 摺物帖|A Poet and Mount FujiFrom the Spring Rain Collection (Harusame shū), vol. 3 is a 1824 ink by Yashima Gakutei, a Romanticism work, depicting Mountain, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This woodblock print shows a man sitting cross-legged in bright robes, holding a fan and a scroll. His black hat and serious face stand out against the pale background. Behind him, faint Japanese writing fills the space, and a pair of swords leans against the edge. The print is part of a small, handmade album called *surimono*—these were often made for friends or special occasions. The artist used bold colors and simple shapes to focus on the man’s quiet dignity. Next, look up The Metropolitan Museum of Art to see more prints like this.
