Description

The upper Oirase area in spring — the season when snowmelt fills the mountain streams to their highest, most energetic levels, and the surrounding forest erupts in the fresh green of new leaves. Henmi's spring Okuirise composition contrasts with his late-autumn and winter treatments of the same landscape, the three seasonal prints together forming an implicit series documenting one artist's sustained relationship with a single celebrated natural place across the year's transformations.
