The Dragon of Smoke Escaping from Mount Fuji 

This painting by Katsushika Hokusai, renowned for his ukiyo-e woodblock prints, depicts Mount Fuji, a sacred and iconic symbol of Japan. The mountain is rendered in a minimalist style, emphasizing its majestic form and ethereal presence. The image is dominated by the imposing figure of Mount Fuji, rising from the earth in a swirling cloud of smoke, perhaps suggestive of a volcanic eruption or mythical creature. The stark contrast between the white mountain and the dark smoke creates a sense of dramatic tension and highlights the power of nature.
