Description
Mount Fuji rises behind an arched bridge in its full autumn coloring, the mountain's cone emerging above a landscape of crimson and amber foliage in this seasonal landscape by Yuhan Ito. The combination of Fuji, autumn leaves, and a curving bridge is a compositional strategy with deep roots in Japanese landscape prints, each element intensifying the others — the mountain's permanence against the leaves' transience, the bridge connecting human world to mountain vista. Ito handles the familiar combination with restraint, letting color carry the season.
