Description
Mount Fuji from Yoshida depicts Japan's sacred volcano from the town that shares part of Yoshida's own surname — a quietly personal vantage point on a subject he returned to throughout his career. The view from Yoshida-guchi, one of the traditional starting points for Fuji ascents, places the mountain in the context of the surrounding lowlands, its perfect cone rising above pine forests and fields. Yoshida's treatment captures the quality of light characteristic of the Fuji region, the mountain simultaneously intimate and immense.
