Twenty-Five Views of Mt. Fuji - Jokata Kaiseki's series "Twenty-five Views of Mt. Fuji" depicts Japan's sacred mountain throughout the year from viewpoints both near and far. These beautiful landscape prints have a lovely painterly appearance with wonderful detail. Many include figures such as farmers working in the fields or people visiting shrines, adding to the sense that Mt. Fuji is a constant presence in daily life. The series was self-published by Kaiseki in 1931 under the name Kaiseki Print Publication Society. Not much is known about the artist, and few works outside this series are presently known. These woodblocks were printed without margins and mounted along the top edge to heavy paper folders with the title in English and Japanese. A rarely seen shin-hanga landscape series and a great choice for a collector.

This presentation - This print comes loose in the original heavy paper presentation folder with printed title. Most often the accompanying folder has been lost, so this is a nice opportunity to acquire one of these terrific designs in the format as originally published.
