Description
Mount Fuji viewed in spring from Miho — a perspective from the Miho Peninsula on Suruga Bay, where the pine-forested sandspit creates one of the most celebrated views of the mountain across the water. The famous combination of Fuji's snow-capped cone, the dark pines of Miho, and the blue expanse of the bay between them has attracted artists for centuries. Urushibara's woodblock treatment brings his refined Western-inflected color sensibility to one of Japan's most iconic landscape compositions.
