A man struggles to hold a rearing packhorse loaded with green fodder, while two anglers in wide straw hats sit fishing on the riverbank below the tall posts of a sluice gate. Beyond the gate posts, across fields and a stretch of water, a tiny white Fuji sits on the horizon. The print belongs to Hokusai's Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, published around 1830–1832 by Nishimuraya Yohachi (Eijudō). Senju lay on the Sumida River north of Edo, the first post town on the roads leading north. Hokusai frames the mountain inside the rectangular posts of the gate, a device he uses often in the series; impressions vary in colour and condition.
This full-bleed edition prints the work edge to edge from a high-resolution scan of the original, very slightly cropped (a few percent at most) to fit the sheet. The gallery edition shows the whole work, uncropped. The original is in the public domain.
