Fuji vanaf het Kawaguchi-meer
1926
Yoshida Hiroshi captures the serene, freezing beauty of Mount Fuji in winter, likely sketching this scene on location at Lake Kawaguchi in 1926. As a leader of the Shin-hanga (New Print) movement, he revitalized traditional Japanese art by focusing on light, atmosphere, and realistic landscapes rather than just stylized forms. Notice how the soft peach sky warms up the icy blues of the water and the stark white snow, making the scene feel almost like a watercolor painting come to life. The tiny boat bobbing in the distance adds a perfect sense of scale to the massive, slumbering volcano.
