  • Hiroshige’s Views of Mount Fuji by Oliver Impey

    Hiroshige’s Views of Mount Fuji

    The high viewpoint enables the artist to emphasise the height of the mountain, which he clearly found important (see. No. 20) [EAX.4270]. Notice the total lack of reflection of the mountain in Lake Motosu. Motosu is one of the famous Fuji Five Lakes, a celebrated tourist attraction.
