Mount Fuji from Mizukubo, circa 1936

Comments - Beautiful view of Mt. Fuji from Mizukubo at sunrise, a soft pink glow flooding the horizon beneath a lavender sky. The farmhouses in the foreground are still in dark shadow. The snow capped peak of Mt. Fuji rises at upper left, softly glowing white in the early morning, the base wreathed in clouds. A faint warm glow comes from the windows of few houses, providing a sense of human scale to the landscape. A dramatic perspective that adds to the powerful beauty of this sacred mountain. A fantastic design by Shotei. Published by Watanabe, a later edition from the original blocks with 6 mm Watanabe seal at lower right, dating from 1946 - 1957.
