A woodblock print by Utagawa Kuniyoshi, 'View of Mt. Asama from the Usui Pass' depicts a panoramic vista of Mount Asama from the Usui Pass, rendered in muted blues, browns, and creams.
Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1798-1861) was a prominent Japanese ukiyo-e artist of the late Edo period. He is celebrated for his dynamic depictions of historical and mythical scenes, warriors, and animals. Kuniyoshi's innovative style and imaginative compositions set him apart from his contemporaries. He was a significant influence on later generations of ukiyo-e artists. His work is held in major collections worldwide. 'View of Mt. Asama from the Usui Pass' exemplifies Kuniyoshi's skill in rendering atmospheric perspective and natural forms. The print presents a panoramic vista of Mount Asama, a volcano, as seen from the Usui Pass. Wisps of cloud obscure the peak. The foreground features lush vegetation and rocky outcrops, with figures of travellers on a mountain path. The composition employs a high horizon line, a common technique in ukiyo-e, to create a sense of depth and distance. The colour palette is restrained, with blues, browns, and creams used to evoke the serene atmosphere of the mountain setting.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
