Description
Miho no Matsubara — the pine-covered sand spit at the foot of the Izu Peninsula with its legendary unobstructed view of Mount Fuji across Suruga Bay — is the vantage point for this 1935 Fuji composition. The pines of Miho frame the cone's reflection in the bay, one of the most celebrated of the "Thirty-Six Views" subjects revived for the shin-hanga era. Yoshida's treatment brings Western atmospheric depth to a composition Hokusai and Hiroshige had made iconic, the mountain both grounded and transcendent.
