Blue night woodcut of snow-capped Mount Fuji above a calm lake, with a small sailboat and light reflected on the water.

Moonlight on Mt. Fuji

A color woodcut shows snow-capped Mount Fuji rising against a deep blue night sky above a still lake. A small sailboat with a pale billowing sail and a single figure at the stern sits on the water, with pale streaks of light reflected across the rippling surface below the mountain's long, dark slopes.
