Kanchenjunga

A snow-capped mountain range stretches across the horizon under a pale yellow-green sky, its jagged white peaks rising above layered blue foothills that recede into mist. In the foreground, a small cluster of red-roofed buildings sits on a dark ridge overlooking terraced or cultivated land, with no human figures present. *Kanchenjunga*, a 1931 woodblock print by Hiroshi Yoshida, renders the scene in graduated blues and purples that shift from deep indigo in the near hills to soft violet-grey in the distant range.
