Fuji reflected in the still waters of Shiraiko Lake is one of the more serene entries in Tokuriki's Thirty-six Views series, capitalizing on the mirror-image effect that has inspired Japanese artists for centuries. The composition's simplicity and balance make it a popular decorative choice. Unsodo editions generally sell for $50-$200, with strong impressions showing crisp reflections in the water commanding the upper range.
Mount Fuji is seen reflected in the clear waters of Shiraiko Lake in this print from Tokuriki's "Thirty-six Views," the perfect cone of the mountain doubled in the reflection below to create a symmetrical, meditative composition. Lake reflections of Fuji were among the most beloved subjects in the Fuji print tradition — the stillness of the reflecting water amplifying the mountain's quality of absolute permanence, the perfect symmetry of mountain and reflection suggesting a world of ideal order. Tokuriki's version achieves this with characteristic technical precision.
