Description
Lake Yamanaka in late autumn strips to its essential geometry — bare larch trees along the shore, dark blue water, and Fuji's silhouette with its first autumn snow. This 1947 print captures the banshu (late autumn) condition at Yamanaka — the season when the lake's summer tourist visitors have gone and the mountain's upper reaches have whitened. The sparse winter palette contrasts with the rich autumn colors Hasui deployed in his foliage compositions at lower elevations.
