Mount Fuji from Ashinoko depicts Mount Fuji with Lake Ashi in the foreground. Koichi Okada chose to show the lake from up close, unlike Hiroshige and Hokusai in their designs from more than a century before, with Mount Fuji towering over it in the background.
Condition notes
The print is in very good condition. There is a stray dot of ink in the image just above the bottom margin.
