Catalog note / 解説

This 'uchiwa-e' (rigid fan print) design by Hiroshige shows Mount Fuji across the waters of Lake Kawaguchi. It was one of five lakes that lie to the north of the mountain in southern Yamanashi Prefecture. Here Hiroshige has used a wash-like simple palette of colours to make the composition more powerful. The print is unusual for its small size, square format and lack of cut-away lower section. Materials: Colour print from woodblocks
