Two women are working beneath the foot of Mt. Fuji. The woman in blue is smiling back, and the other woman is looking directly at her. A small boat separates the women. In the distance, one can see other workers as well as gathering either water, seaweed, or harvesting other sea life. The bright horizon and group of birds hovering around the mountains signify the majestic prominences of the revered peak.
