A blue peak streaked with snow above a deep alpine valley

A great mountain rises at the left in deep blue, its flanks streaked with pale pink and grey gullies of snow and scree. Green forested ridges fall away from it into a deep valley, and clumps of yellow-green trees stand on the near slope at the lower right. Beyond, the land opens into a pale valley floor threaded by a river, with range after range of mauve hills fading towards the horizon. Cumulus clouds lit pink from below drift across a sky of blue and rose.

Hiroshi Yoshida (1876–1950) came to woodblock printing from Western-style oil painting, and brought a painter's eye for light to shin-hanga. He worked first with the publisher Watanabe Shōzaburō and from 1925 ran his own studio, supervising the carving and printing himself and often issuing a single design in several colourways to catch a different hour of the day. His travels through the Japan Alps, India, Egypt, Europe and North America gave the movement its widest geographic range. His prints are held by the British Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
