Artist, Japanese, 1897 - 1983

The image depicts an elevated view of a series of mountains. The horizon shows a row of distant dark blue peaks. In the middle ground are pink and purple mountains with sharp peaks catching the light against a darker landscape. The style of the artwork suggests it is a woodblock print, with clear lines and flat colors. The color palette is vivid with intense shades of pink and deep blues, suggesting early morning light. Scattered clouds soften the sky above the mountains.
