The Waterwheel at Onden (Onden no suisha), from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjūrokkei) ca. 1830–32 Katsushika Hokusai Japanese Fuji sits in the misty distance, a silent observer of the daily life of the peasants taking place in the foreground. Men carry bundles uphill, women wash herbs in fresh water, while a young boy leads a turtle on a string. Turtles, like the "fungus-shaped" clouds pictured in another print, "Shichirigahama in Sagami Province," are associated with The Waterwheel at Onden (Onden no suisha), from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji
