Hasui Kawase
Fuji with boat and pine tree
hagakiban
It is nearly night in this view of Mt. Fuji, framed by a leaning pine tree, with a boat on the beach in foreground, its mast and sails down; the last rays of the sun illuminate the high clouds, all in tones of blue and green.
A brief discussion of Hasui's hagakiban prints and examples of their subjects can be seen on the Hanga Gallery site, here.
In hagakiban or postcard size, the image is 3 3/8" x 5 5/8" on a 3 13/16" x 5 9/16" sheet; red Hasui seal in lower left corner.
