An untitled vertical diptych depicting two boats silently navigating their way along the Fuji river flowing between steep, snow-covered cliffs. A lone traveller traverses the narrow bridge, heading towards a hamlet tucked into the cliffs on the left.
Considered amongst Hiroshige's masterpieces, it is thought that this design resulted from a journey he made in 1842 along the Koshukaido, travelling West from Edo.
