Sekiya Village on the Sumida River - Tokyo, Japan


From the series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji".
The speed and urgency of the galloping horsemen stand in contrast to the solitary and static image of Fuji capping the horizon like an omniscient observer and marking that which is eternal. The raised road that winds into the depths of the print directs our gaze to the mountain, as do the trees that function as a framing device.
