Of the Kano school and a part of the same project as 1988/2.29.1, this completes the pair of six-fold screens that depict the scenery at the foot of Mt. Fuji. 

Physical Description
Painted with ink on paper this is the second pair of six-fold screens (the first being 1988/2.29.1). To the left is a mountainous region with the water on the right. The mountains on the left have a trail that snakes through them and five travelers who walk the path. On the right is the open water with three boats. The two areas meet in the middle, more towards the left, at a rough and rocky coast. On the far left edge is an inscription followed by a red seal.
