Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji: The Back of Mt. Fuji from Minobu River 冨嶽三十六景 身延川裏不二ふがくさんじゅうろっけい みのぶうらふじ
Description
当時、甲斐国側いわゆる西側から見た富士を「裏富士」と呼んでいた。また身延川は富士川を指すとの説があったが、現在は日蓮宗の総本山久遠寺周辺の川であるとの説もある。旅人が行き交う山道の脇を流れる急流とわき上がる雲、そしてその先に競り立つ山々の間から顔を見せる富士の姿は、他の図にはない険しい表情をもつ。また富士とそれを挟む山々、画面右側に伸びた樹木のシルエットがリズムよく並んでいるのも面白い。
