Striking Views of Mount Fuji (Fuyō kikan)

Yamada, Yoshitsuna, active 1848-1868 · 1828 · 1 picture

Striking Views of Mount Fuji (Fuyō kikan) is a Japanese woodblock print book of 1828 by Yamada Yoshitsuna, who worked from 1848 to 1868, so the date and attribution sit uneasily together. The single picture shows a panoramic landscape with green hills, small rooftops and paths winding toward a snow-capped Fuji at upper right, drawn in soft washes of green and blue that a designer could borrow for layered, atmospheric backgrounds.
