A rural scene somewhere near Mount Fuji, on a bright spring day. On our right, a wooden water wheel attached to a rustic thatched-roof building turns in a clear little stream; snow still clings to the shady side of the roof, and lingers in the building's shadow. A tall tree, its branches bare except for a few of the previous season's leaves, stands nearby. On our left, a single traveler carries a large basket on their back as they make their way along a winding path. Beyond, regular fields of farms stretch out toward a dense forest of evergreens; in the distance, snow-capped mountains reach into a clear blue sky.
Title: Skirt of Mt Fuji (1953)
