Details

This design is a stunning view of Mt. Fuji seen through the deep greens of summer. Clouds break across the sacred mountain’s peak while the light of day gives way to the blues of twilight. Hasui’s design is outstanding in its draftsmanship as well as in its printing effects. The composition places Mt. Fuji front and center but it’s the interplay of atmospheric effects found in the light filtering through the clouds and its reflection in the river that build the bridge to this magical locale.

 

Connoisseur's Note

This print is a true time capsule. It was never framed or displayed and was stored in archival boxes. Prints in this pristine condition seldom come up for sale.  This is an exceedingly rare opportunity to own a stunning Hasui design with fresh and vivid colors in its original state.
