Description
The print shows Mount Fuji as seen from Fujiyoshida, a small town near it, that has been build on top of old hardened lava from the Mount Fuji itself. The houses look small against the backdrop of the imposing Mount Fuji. Before it an endearing figure is standing, with close to it an even smaller child, surrounded by, most likely, family, civilization and nature at the same time. Eventhough the figures look tiny within this composition, it exudes warmth, with an inviting light radiating from the house towards them.
Condition notes
The print is in very good state. On the back there are two remnants of a previous mounting, possibly to its original presentation folder.
