"Fuji en het pijnboombos te Mio" (1838-1842), a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858), showcases the iconic Mount Fuji in the distance, veiled in a delicate mist. The composition features a serene vista with a grove of pine trees in the foreground, contrasting with the towering mountain peak. This work is an excellent example of Hiroshige's masterful use of blue tones, conveying the soft, ethereal atmosphere of the landscape. The print is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
