Description
A landscape print from Hasui's Chichibu-Tama National Park series, depicting one of the park's signature scenes — likely the Tama River corridor, rocky peaks of the Oku-Chichibu range, or autumn-colored slopes near Mitake or Okutama. Hasui applied his characteristic tight compositional framing, using a foreground element such as cedar forest or riverbank rocks to establish recession toward a luminous sky. The print exemplifies the shin-hanga approach in which the artist supplied the design while specialist carvers and printers executed the block cutting and overprinting, enabling fine gradations of tone across multiple color impressions on hosho-quality washi.
