Fuji from the Village of Narusawa

"Fuji from the Village of Narusawa" by Kawase Hasui is a tranquil woodblock print that beautifully captures the harmony between Japan’s rural life and its sacred natural landmarks. In the scene, Mount Fuji rises with quiet majesty over a small farming village, where a thatched-roof farmhouse and humble shed rest beneath an open, pastel sky. Two figures stand near the doorway, adding a human touch to the peaceful landscape. Hasui’s delicate gradations of color and light evoke the crisp air and stillness of the countryside, transforming an ordinary moment into a poetic reflection of serenity and tradition.
