雪月花 吉野
The most famous place in Japan for viewing cherry blossoms is Mount Yoshino in the Kii peninsula, far from Kyoto and Nara. Instead of the standard device of bands of mist separating the foreground from the background, here clusters of cherry blossoms hover in the middle ground. The other two prints in the series are Snowscape by the Sumida River and Moonlight on the Yodo River.
The signature, Saki no [or Zen no] Hokusai Iitsu hitsu, indicates that the print was made during Hokusai's Iitsu period (ca. 1820–33).
