Title: Fuji from Mitsuhama in Nishiizu (1936)

Artist: Koitsu Tsuchiya

https://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/15639383 #ShinHanga #Art #Showa #KoitsuTsuchiya #Winter #Snow #MtFuji #MountFuji #Shizuoka #Nishiizu #SurugaBay #Japan

A view looking toward Mount Fuji, early on a cold winter's morning. In the foreground, snow weighs down the branches of wiry pine trees; beyond, a small sailboat crosses Suruga Bay, passing a treeless little island along the way. Further north, the earliest light of dawn is giving Mount Fuji's snowy peak a warm orange glow; the cloudless sky above is beginning to lighten with the coming day.

Title: Rain in Nissaka (1942)

Artist: Hasui Kawase

Rain falls on a small residential street. A figure wearing practical traditional clothing and wooden geta carries a small child on their back as they climb up an incline in the road; a bamboo umbrella protects them from the falling rain, though the road itself is slick with rainwater. Wooden houses stand on either side of the road. Up ahead, a dog waits out of the rain on the doorstep of a darkened house, presumably looking for his humans to return and let him in. Warm yellow light shines in other windows on the street, as the afternoon turns to evening. Above, cold grey clouds continue to shower rain across the scene

An autumn sunset on street in Shizuoka. In the foreground, traditional wooden houses line up along an uneven road; a female figure approaches another figure carrying a small child on their back, while another child stands nearby. On our left, a tree has shed half its leaves. Beyond, a snow-capped Mount Fuji rises in a sky filled with soft blue fading to faint orange at the horizon.

A view of the harbour at Numazu on a bright summer's day. In the foreground, a solitary pilot steers a small open boat bearing a cargo of packages across the wide, calm sea; beyond, other boats are tied up at little jetties, while houses crowd close to the water's edge. Further on, past the rooftops of the city and rugged local mountains, Mount Fuji stands tall in the distance; above, a few small scattered white clouds cross the bright blue sky.

Title: Fishing Village, Arai, Enshu (1931)

Artist: Hasui Kawase

https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/japanese-fishing-village-ena-cmd/index.html #ShinHanga #Art #Showa #HasuiKawase #Summer #Shizuoka #Japan

An evening view of a small fishing village on the shore of a calm bay. Small open boats are moored along a stone embankment next to the village; close by, two adult figures sit in an open doorway in one of the houses, and a third figure leans on the doorframe. One person has a small child in their lap. Warm light spills out of the interior of the house, while the other village houses are dark. Beyond, tall trees are reduced to silhouettes in the gloom. Above, a slim crescent moon rises in a starless night sky. In the foreground, the still surface of the river reflects the scene.

A view looking across the wooden Tagonoura Bridge toward Mt Fuji, on a clear summer day. Healthy green trees and vegetation populate the foreground on both sides of the bridge; further on, Mt Fuji rises into an untroubled blue sky. Tattered clouds cling to the mountain's flanks, while the peak is free of snow.

A view looking out over a sandy beach toward a distant Mount Fuji, on a bright afternoon. In the foreground, irregular patches of grass cling to the sandy beach; three tall, wiry pine trees stand at a permanent angle, sculpted by the wind coming in off the water. A small boat has been dragged up the beach and tucked in beneath the pine trees; further on, out on the calm blue water, another similar boat carrying a pair of passengers approaches the shore. Low green hills line the far side of Suruga Bay, while futher on, snow-capped Mount Fuji stands tall, its base lost in colourless mist, framed by bright blue sky and ragged clouds making a sweeping arc out over the ocean

Title: Snow in a Farmyard, Yaizu (1935)

Artist: Koitsu Tsuchiya

https://travel-yaizu.com/index.php#recommend18 #KoitsuTsuchiya #ShinHanga #Art #Showa #Winter #Snow #MtFuji #MountFuji #Yaizu #Shizuoka #Japan

A view looking over a snowy farm toward a distant Mount Fuji, on a clear winter's day. On our right, a small farmhouse stands next to a water wheel built over a little stream; in spite of the snow, the water is still unfrozen, and cascades off the water wheel as it turns. A short bridge spans the stream: straight, simple, and without handrails, it's barely more than a plank. On our left, a haystack is covered in a layer of snow. Beyond the house, across wide open fields, a red torii gate stands among tall trees on a low hill; further on, pale silhouettes of mountains define the horizon, with Mount Fuji rising in the distance. A few wispy clouds loiter near Mount Fuji, but otherwise, the sky is a clear faint blue fading to a rosy pink.
