One of the most dramatic designs from this series. An eagle flies high in the sky over the plain of Susaki on a snowy night. The eagle's wings spread across the upper section of the print framing the scene in which Mount Tsukuba can be seen in the distance far below.
Prints such as this with large foreground objects became of particular interest to the Impressionists and Post Impressionists and this design amongst others came to be highly prized amongst collectors when Japanese prints arrived in the West during the second half of the 19th century.
