Catalog note / 解説

Travelers climb Inume Pass along the edge of a steep river valley at dawn, pausing at the top of a hill for a fine view of Mount Fuji with a flock of geese in flight before it. The predominantly gray and pale yellow palette, with a blush of red on the horizon to indicate the rising sun, effectively conveys the atmosphere of an early morning scene, while suggesting the long day’s journey ahead. “Hokusai’s Summit: Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji” (09/24/2009-01/06/2010) ******************************
