Description
Lake Ashi at Hakone frames the iconic silhouette of Mount Fuji in this print, the mountain's reflection shimmering in the calm water below. Sekino deploys a high vantage point that compresses the distance between the foreground hills and the volcano's symmetrical cone, producing a composition of striking geometric clarity. Mount Fuji seen from the Tokaido was a recurring motif across the series, each station offering a different angle on Japan's sacred peak.
