Description
Sailboats drift across the glassy surface of Kawaguchiko or one of the Fuji Five Lakes while Mount Fuji rises in perfect reflection in both sky and water in this double-mirrored landscape by Yuhan Ito. The composition exploits the lake's capacity to create a symmetrical world — mountain above, mountain below, boats crossing the boundary between them — a device that distills the shin-hanga love of atmospheric, reflective water into its purest form. Ito's Fuji is characteristically soft, more mood than monument.
