Fumio Kitaoka - 富士好日 (A Fine Day at Fuji)
Modern | Sōsaku Hanga Woodblock Print
A fabulous print by Fumio Kitaoka: 富士好日 (A Fine Day at Fuji). Snow-streaked Mt. Fuji rises beneath a clear turquoise sky, beyond a broad patchwork of rust, ochre & green fields. A narrow stretch of blue water crosses the foreground, while the densely carved farmland and foothills lead towards Fuji’s summit. A richly textured view of the mountain and its surrounding countryside. 🗻🌾

About the Artist
Fumio Kitaoka (1918-2007) was a leading figure in Japan’s sōsaku-hanga movement and a student of both Unichi Hiratsuka and Koshiro Onchi. Known for his quietly powerful landscapes, Kitaoka explored seasonal change, shifting light, and the passage of time. He exhibited and taught internationally from the 1950s onward, and his work is held in major collections including MoMA, Harvard Art Museums, and the Yokohama Museum of Art.
