Description
Lake Kawaguchi at Oishi, undated (circa 1942), depicts the Oishi shore of Lake Kawaguchi — the small hamlet on the northern shoreline where the most celebrated Fuji-reflection view is traditionally obtained — under the conditions of a particular season or weather. The Oishi vantage gives the classic straight-on view of Fuji's reflection across the lake's full width, and Hasui's circa 1942 treatment brings his late-middle-career atmospheric technique to this most-depicted of the Five Lakes compositions. The Rivers & Lakes and Bokashi tags indicate the composition's atmospheric qualities.
