Takahashi Shotei

This image is one from a large number of very small print designs created by Takahashi Shotei in the 1930’s for one of the Tokyo publishers for the purpose of being pasted onto greeting cards aimed at foreign tourists. We selected three images from this large group to reproduced as a slight enlargement from the original.
This image is a classical Ukiyo-e depiction of Mount Fuji, but interestingly it has painterly feel in the foreground which is usually something we see more of in shin hanga, with a number of unbounded and overlapping colours.
Dave asked me if I'd like in include a mark of my own print, so under the artist seal I've added a ginkgo leaf.
