The Tateyama mountain group in Toyama prefecture, seen from the slopes of Hakuba (White Horse) Peak in the Northern Japanese Alps — a panoramic alpine view of extraordinary scale and grandeur. Henmi's mountain subjects are among his most ambitious landscapes, the scale of the high alpine environment requiring him to extend his graphic technique beyond the intimate observation of his urban and coastal prints. The Tateyama range, one of Japan's three holy mountains, carries religious as well as scenic associations.
