Description

The Iyo Ishizuchi-yama print from the New One Hundred Views of Japan series gives Azechi's home mountain its most formal documentary treatment—a contribution to a comprehensive national landscape series that placed his beloved Shikoku peak within the broader catalog of Japan's scenic heritage. The New One Hundred Views format required balancing topographical accuracy with the bold graphic approach of his mature style, the specific mountain's identifying features visible within his characteristically simplified rendering.
