Workers pick tea in the green fields and carry their harvest in baskets, while a horse is loaded beside a thatched shed and a stream winds through the scene. Above the fields and village roofs, a white Fuji rises under a pale blue sky. The print is one of the ten additional views Hokusai added to his Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, published around 1830–1832 by Nishimuraya Yohachi (Eijudō), and like the others it is printed with black outlines. Katakura in Suruga province was a tea-growing district at the foot of the mountain. Hokusai shows the busy work of the harvest from above, with the mountain watching over it; impressions vary in colour and condition.
This exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. The original is in the public domain.
