Description
A mountain stream in the Hida district of Gifu Prefecture — one of Japan's most rugged highland regions — is rendered with Hiratsuka's direct knife work conveying the water's force over stone. The 1958 woodblock belongs to his Gifu landscape series, the mountain interior's clear rivers and forested slopes providing material distinct from his coastal and temple subjects.
