Tsukudajima In Musashi Province, From The Series Thirty-Six Views Of Mount Fuji

In the foreground a large boat laden with cotton bales moves toward the tiny island of Tsukuda. The boat's shape repeats that of Fuji, creating the rhyming of form so common to Hokusai's style. Other, smaller boats fill the water, giving viewers a sense of the daily life surrounding Tsukuda.
