Description
Mount Yari (3,180 m) — the "Spear Peak" of the Japan Alps — is one of the most dramatic and technically challenging summits in the country, its needle-like horn unmistakable on the skyline. Yoshida, who climbed many of the peaks he depicted, brings an alpinist's intimate knowledge to this 1926 composition, the angular summit catching light against a deep sky in a print that conveys both the mountain's physical danger and its austere beauty.
