A true celebration of the mountains, this box set, accompanied by an explanatory booklet, displays in an accordion format more than sixty works by the great masters of printmaking.
From the most fascinating views of Mount Fuji, Japan's sacred icon, to the dizzying waterfalls carved into the rocks, the steep paths winding through pine forests, along the emblematic roads of the Tokaido, or leading to temples clinging to the cliffside, each of these prints reveals a mysterious and changing mountain, alternately covered with cherry blossoms in spring or glowing maples in autumn.
Artists enjoy varying the viewpoints endlessly, in a spectacle that has attracted many travelers for centuries: alone or in small groups, they walk through these grandiose landscapes, the mountain becoming the symbol of an initiatory journey and the deep bonds that unite the Japanese with nature.
