The autumn colors of Arashiyama — the celebrated mountain district west of Kyoto where maple trees turn brilliant red and orange each November — are rendered in this 1968 print with Hashimoto's characteristic geometric discipline applied to what is essentially an atmospheric and organic subject. The composition likely presents the mountain face or riverside hillside fractured into planes of color, the chaos of autumn's riot reduced to ordered blocks of warm hue. Arashiyama was among the most frequently depicted landscapes in all of Japanese art, and Hashimoto's version offers a distinctively structural interpretation.
