The delicately depicted mountains of Awa Province in "View of the Mountains from Tsurugaoka" showcase Toyokuni II's mastery in capturing landscapes with precision and depth. In "Clearing Weather at Enoshima, " we are treated to a breathtaking view off the shore of Koyurugi, where rays of sunlight pierce through dissipating clouds after a passing storm.
