Description
Sunset Mt. Fuji (1995) belongs to Hagiwara's late engagement with the mountain that dominated the landscape around his studio in the Fuji Five Lakes region. By 1995, he had made the mountain a subject for every hour of the day, every season, and every quality of weather — the sunset treatment being among the most coloristically rich, the mountain's profile darkening against a sky of extraordinary orange and crimson complexity. The 1995 date makes this a work of the artist's early eighties, his continued engagement with the landscape reflecting an undimmed physical and creative energy.
