Description
Mount Chausu — likely Nasu Chausuzan in Tochigi Prefecture, one of Japan's active volcanoes — appears in this print from an unidentified series. Kazuma's engagement with mountain subjects culminated in his 1937 "Famous Mountains of Japan" series, and this print, whether from that series or another, demonstrates his approach to the volcanic peak: the mountain's distinctive profile, perhaps showing signs of fumarolic activity or the characteristic bare upper slopes of a geologically active summit, rendered with his characteristic atmospheric sensitivity.
