About this print

A turtle hangs by a cord in the immediate foreground, feet paddling at nothing, while behind it the river carries sailboats and Mount Fuji sits politely on the horizon. The turtle was for sale, to be bought and released as an act of merit. Hiroshige gives the transaction the entire foreground and the sacred mountain a supporting role.
