Dated 1934, this [oban](/glossary/oban) print presents Mount Fuji as seen from the pine-lined coast of Miho no Matsubara during spring. Ishikawa Toraji renders the sacred mountain with ink and color on paper, framing it through windswept pine branches while spring haze softens its snow-capped peak. The Miho viewpoint has been celebrated in Japanese art for centuries, famously associated with the legend of the celestial feathered robe. Toraji's version brings a modern atmospheric quality to this classical vista, using layered color printing to create a sense of humid spring air hanging between the pines and the distant volcanic cone.
