Mount Fuji
富士山
Chinese Ink on Rice Paper/宣纸水墨画
50 x 95 cm
The artist captures his emotions upon witnessing Mount Fuji during the cherry blossom season, with snow gently cascading from its peak before a serene river. At the mountain’s base, small houses and ryokans are nestled, while people row boats along the river, creating a picturesque scene filled with vibrant life.
This setting is rendered using the ink wash painting techniques of the Ming and Qing dynasties, which lend the landscape a sense of spaciousness and elegance.
