Fuji Hakone National Park — 国立富士箱根

The second of three prints in Hasui's Fuji-Hakone National Park series (国立富士箱根), each presenting a distinct scene from within the park's boundaries straddling Yamanashi, Shizuoka, and Kanagawa prefectures. This composition may depict a complementary viewpoint to the first print in the series—perhaps shifting from a Fuji Five Lakes vantage to the Hakone side, or representing a different season to show the park's year-round character. Hasui's approach to the national park series would share the documentary impulse of his broader meisho-e work: situating specific, identifiable locations within compositions organized for visual coherence and emotional resonance. Color registration across multiple woodblocks achieves the fine atmospheric gradations—cloud formations above volcanic ridges, water reflections in highland lakes, the layered blues of distant mountains—that distinguish Hasui's mature landscape work. Published by Watanabe Shozaburo in the shin-hanga tradition.
