A Fuji Arts Special Offer Auction
The Reservoir and the Sanno Shrine, 1854 - Terrific design of people relaxing at a roadside tea stand looking out over the reservoir towards Sanno Shrine. A man sits cross-legged on a bench at left as a waitress carries him a cup of tea on a tray, while three beauties chat nearby. At right, a vendor displays his wares on a stand. Trees with unusually large leaves line the shore, and houses stretch across the foot of the hill in the distance, with a band of yellow clouds drifting above the water. An attractive image. We've only seen this design once before.
