Monte Fuji dal villaggio di Narusawa
1936-11
Kawase Hasui, a master of the Shin-hanga (new prints) movement, captures a serene winter moment in this 1936 woodblock print. The majestic, snow-capped Mount Fuji looms large in the background, its perfect cone shape contrasting with the rustic, thatched-roof farmhouse in the foreground. Tiny figures stand near the entrance, emphasizing the sheer scale of the mountain and the quiet, everyday life of the Narusawa village. Hasui was known for his nostalgic landscapes that evoked a vanishing traditional Japan, traveling the country to sketch scenes just like this one before they disappeared forever.
