Created in 1858, the print showcases the majestic Mount Fuji rising in the distance, framed by a towering torii gate, a traditional Japanese gateway, that leads to the island of Enoshima. The scene is filled with vibrant colors, depicting a peaceful bay with boats and figures strolling along the shore, making this artwork a beautiful depiction of the serene beauty of Japan. The print exemplifies the ukiyo-e style, a popular art form in Edo-period Japan that captured everyday life and landscapes.
