Gihachiro Okuyama’s Woodblock “富士山桜 (‘Mt. Fuji Cherryblossoms’)” frames Mount Fuji’s iconic snow‐capped peak rising above a tranquil lakeshore lined with blooming cherry trees. In the foreground, delicate pink petals cluster on slender branches, while the turquoise lake reflects both the mountain’s silhouette and a modest row of lakeside houses across the water - suggesting a quiet village nestled at Fuji’s base. The composition balances sakura’s ephemeral beauty against the timeless presence of Fuji-san and its surrounding community. 🌸🗻

Beyond the blossoms, a line of traditional wooden houses and a small town border the far shore, illustrating how local communities have long flourished under Fuji-san’s watchful gaze. Okuyama’s print captures the harmony between the fleeting bloom, the enduring mountain, and the village life that thrives in its shadow.
