Midnight - Ichimokushu Vol 6

Midnight—Ichimokushu Vol. 6 situates this print within a series of prints published in the Ichimokushu collection (One View Series), with this being the sixth volume's midnight contribution. The mountain midnight—experienced by those who wake in alpine huts for the predawn start required by weather conditions and technical difficulty—was a specific kind of darkness, colder and more absolute than valley midnight, the stars unusually brilliant in the thin atmosphere.
