Yoshihara 1912 - 1916

Fujikawa Tamenobu's "Yoshihara" (1912-1916) is a woodblock print depicting Mount Fuji, a prominent symbol of Japan, as seen from a distance through a grove of pine trees. The print captures the essence of Japanese landscape aesthetics, with its delicate brushstrokes and the use of light and shadow to create depth and atmosphere. The presence of figures in the foreground adds a sense of scale and human connection to the majestic natural setting. This print, housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the beauty and technical mastery of Japanese woodblock printing.
