This muted scene, a departure from Suzuki Kiitsu’s usual bright and bold painting style, shows a snow-covered Mount Fuji from the shore of Miho-no-Matsubara, a pine-covered peninsula that stretches into Suruga Bay and is itself a famous landmark. The painting may have been sketched from life, as the crest of Mount Fuji realistically bears five peaks rather than the iconic three-peak version of many renditions. Through use of color and transparency, the entire image radiates a sense of light, while the design and draftsmanship reflect the high level of skill Kiitsu achieved in his later years. Japan, Asia
