Description
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.
