Description
Onuma Park near Komagatake in Hokkaido — Japan's northernmost main island — offers views of the volcanic mountain reflected in a network of small lakes surrounded by forested islands. Henmi's Hokkaido subjects place him far from his usual Tokyo landscapes, the northern island's distinctly cooler, less densely inhabited environment requiring a different visual vocabulary. The park's combination of volcanic mountain and reflective water made it a subject that allowed him to explore both height and depth within a single composition.
