More Information
Snow-covered Mt. Fuji is bathed by the morning light and tinted with a soft pink hue. In the foreground, a traveler cannot help but look back for another glance at the sublime view. Mt. Fuji loomed especially large when seen from the area of Hara Station, and Hiroshige communicates this by making the peak of Mt. Fuji jut beyond the border of the picture. In the foreground, the lower peaks of Ukishimagahara and Ashitakayama are printed with black ink tones, beautifully suggesting the gradual brightening of scenery as the sun rises, as well as the flow of time.
