Mount Fuji under fresh snow appears across Koizumi's output, paralleling its prominence in [shin-hanga](/glossary/shin-hanga) landscape work by Yoshida Hiroshi and Kawase Hasui. The composition places Fuji's symmetrical cone -- lower slopes visible, summit cap brilliant -- against a graded sky. [Bokashi](/glossary/bokashi) is essential to the design: a vertical gradation darkening the foreground or horizon and a horizontal one suggesting altitude haze on the mountain itself. As a Western-trained painter who turned to mokuhanga, Koizumi handled atmospheric perspective with the tonal precision of his oil-and-watercolor background, distributing weight through controlled grey midtones rather than flat color planes. Self-carved keyblocks gave him unusual control over the line of distant ridges and treelines. Within Dai Tokyo Hyakkei and his wider landscape work, Fuji functioned as the orienting horizon-marker that tied Tokyo views to the broader Japanese geography.
