Inspiring many artists, Mount Fuji dominates the landscape of the Japanese archipelago from its 3,776 meters. This figure inspires the first transcriptions of atmospheric variations by Hokusai, almost half a century before the light effects of Monet and Sisley. A pure triangle, Fuji is a strong element of Japanese printmaking and then of young photography. Eternal on its slopes, the snow challenges artists to use the paper left in reserve to transcribe the suffocation of nature and its sounds, as the Impressionists would do decades later, inspired by the "land of snow."
