This triptych depicts the encampment of Kudo Suketsune during a grand hunting expedition held at the foot of Mount Fuji. Against the backdrop of the majestic mountain, people are shown relaxing at the encampment. A woman tending a tea kettle appears in the center panel, while a figure believed to be Kudo Suketsune is depicted on the right. The contrast between the women in their elaborate garments and the warriors brings the world of stories surrounding the hunting expedition to life. The striking composition, with Mount Fuji prominently featured, combines Hiroshige's distinctive landscape depiction with expressive figures.
