Description
The Suiren Marsh at Hakkōdasan lies within the Hakkōda volcanic mountain range in Aomori Prefecture, far northern Honshū — a high-altitude wetland known for water lilies and the spectral beauty of its mountain reflections. Yoshida's 1929 print captures the marsh in the stillness that characterizes such remote highland settings: water lilies floating on a glassy surface, the mountains reflected with undisturbed clarity. The subject combines two of his most characteristic interests — mountains and reflective water — in a setting of particular northern austerity.
