A view looking over the calm surface of Lake Yamanaka toward a snow-capped Mount Fuji, on a bright winter afternoon. In the foreground, a pair of wiry, leafless trees are rimed with frost and snow; beyond, a solitary pilot steers a small open boat across the still surface of the lake. Further on, Mount Fuji dominates the landscape. Above, a few faint clouds cross a crisp blue sky; closer to the horizon, the sky is tinted with the pale coral colour of an approaching sunset
