Did You Know?

Mount Fuji is reflected in the clear water of the lake.
A color woodblock print depicts a landscape with a snow-capped mountain reflected in a pale blue lake. At the center, Mount Fuji rises with a tan base and white peak against a darkening blue sky. In the middle ground, clusters of thatched-roof houses and dark evergreens nestle into green hills. In the lower right, a small boat drifts across the water. A vertical inscription box sits in the upper left.
