About this Work

This print of early evening at an inn along a mountain stream, like Yoshida Hiroshi’s “Cryptomeria,” could be read as a potent symbol of patriotism, reminding a Japanese audience of the unique and idyllic landscape that was worth fighting to preserve. Equally, this could be an example of the locations Hiroshi was so fond of discovering on his hikes in the mountains—out-of-the-way places with their own serene beauty.
