萩原英雄 三十六富士:朝霧野焼
Hagiwara Hideo (1913-2007)
Morning Mist, Burning Fields,
from the series Thirty-Six Fujis
1981/1986
Color woodblock print with embossing on paper
Lent by Irwin Lavenberg, L2018.62.5
Hagiwara’s Thirty-Six Fujis series is the artist’s only excursion into landscape. It is his homage to the sacred mountain and to past ukiyo-e artists, such as Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1848) and Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858).
Hagiwara captures a view of Fuji from the town of Ōhara on a spring morning, during the annual burning of grasslands (noyaki) on the northern foot of the mountain.
