This dynamic Oban sized Woodblock print by Katsushika Hokusai is titled Tago Bay near Ejiri on the Tōkaidō Road (Tōkaidō Ejiri Tago no ura ryaku zu).
This is a dramatic scene of two competing fishing boat crews casting nets and struggling to overcome the rough waters in Suruga Bay. This struggle of endurance and survival is in contrast to the majestic and serene view of snow capped Mount Fuji in the background.
From the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku Sanjūrokkei) c1830-1832 this print of Tago Bay near Ejiri on the Tōkaidō Road is a mid 20th Century hand crafted recreation utilizing traditional techniques to produce a print just as the original matching colour and detail but with improved longevity.
Approximate dimensions of the sheet are 29.5 cm width and 21 cm height.

Tago Bay near Ejiri at the Tokyo Fuji Art Museum
Hokusai was born to an artisan family in Edo, Japan and his childhood name was Tokitarō. His father never made Hokusai an heir and it is possible that his mother was a concubine. Hokusai began painting around the age of six. At 12 he went to work in a bookshop and at 14 he also became an apprentice to a wood-carver. At 18 he was also accepted into the studio of Katsukawa Shunshō where he would learn to master the art of ukiyo-e.
