A picture looking over to Mt. Fuji from Shichirigahama Beach that is said to include Enoshima in the middle distance, yet judging from the large trees portrayed it may well be an image of Koyurugi Cape. An artwork conveying well the fresh charm of aizuri (indigo printing), it uses much gradation of indigo and green, and scatters splashes of intense indigo in the middle distance to bring the scene together. The thunderclouds rising in the sky suggests it might be summer, yet the colors with their sense of coolness give more of a fresh, bracing feel.
The sense of coloring is symbolic and at the same time there are no people depicted in it to give a sense of everyday living. This indifferent feeling of a lack of reality somehow like another dimension is a point of interest often found in Hokusai’s landscapes. This print is an early printing maintaining a good condition, which makes the areas of translucence and space even more impressive.
