Foot of Mountain in Spring

Foot of Mountain in Spring is a Kasamatsu Mihoko woodblock landscape recorded on the [ukiyo-e](/glossary/ukiyo-e).org index through a participating dealer's catalogue. The title positions the print squarely in the tradition of seasonal landscape mokuhanga: not a vista from a famous viewpoint, but the quieter motif of the lower slopes of a mountain at the moment of spring's onset, when the cherry, plum, and the new green of leaves begin to break the grey-brown of the dormant winter hillside.
