Observing the Hunt in Koganegahara - Fantastic scene of a shogun's hunt taking place in Koganegahara. The shogun and his court watch the proceedings from a pavilion atop a hill at right, with noblemen watching from lower viewing platforms. Samurai armed with spears are ready on horseback and on foot below in a fenced area, waiting for teams of samurai to drive a stream of animals into the enclosure. Mt. Fuji can be faintly seen on the horizon at left with snow on its sides. A terrific composition with wonderful detail and soft shading.
