Utagawa Hiroshige's "Mount Fuji seen across the water" is a woodblock print from the Edo period. The print depicts two ships in the foreground with Mount Fuji in the background, a common theme in Japanese art. Hiroshige is known for his landscapes and depictions of Mount Fuji. He was a master of woodblock printing, using delicate lines and subtle colors to capture the beauty of nature. This artwork is a classic example of the "ukiyo-e" style, which emphasized the fleeting beauty of the natural world. The Japanese characters in the upper right corner of the print identify the scene as a view of Mount Fuji from the sea.
