Description
Mount Fuji D — the fourth variation in a Fuji subseries — continues Fujita's systematic exploration of the mountain through abstract woodblock technique. The alphabetical designation distinguishes this series from the numerically designated Mt. Fuji 11, suggesting different compositional approaches or perhaps different media treatments within his broader Fuji engagement. Fuji as subject allows Fujita to work with strong geometric form — the near-perfect cone — within a horizontal landscape that tests his ability to balance vertical monumentality with lateral expanse.
