Description
Mount Fuji rises in its familiar conical profile above the harbor at Taganoura on Suruga Bay, where pine trees lean in the sea wind and small fishing boats work the calm water in this print by Yuhan Ito. The view from Taganoura is among the most celebrated in the entire body of Fuji iconography, established by Hiroshige and Hokusai and revisited by nearly every landscape printmaker of the succeeding century. Ito brings to it his atmospheric restraint, allowing mist and reflected light to soften the mountain's assertive mass.
