A ominous view of Mount Fuji, depicted in jagged silhouette against a darkening red sky. In the foreground, the modern buildings of Fuji City seem tiny and insignificant, dwarfed by the blocky shape of the towering volcano rising just beyond. The landscape is gray and still, while the sky at the horizon is a deep red bleeding away into darkness above.

Title: Kamezaki, Owari Province (1928) Artist: Hasui Kawase www.japanecotrack.net/experience/1... #ShinHanga #Art #Showa #Summer #HasuiKawase #Handa #Owari #Aichi #Japan

Evening in Kamezaki, modern day Handa City, in Japan's Aichi Prefecture. On our left, a narrow curving canal leads to what is likely Mikawa Bay; a tall tree grows out of the cramped space between the solid-looking stone embankment and a nearby building. On our right, a deserted street makes a sharp turn out of frame; electric outdoor lights shine outside the house at the end of the street, and warm light glows in one of the windows of the house. Above, puffy clouds cross the darkening sky.

Title: Signal (1962) Artist: Kiyoshi Saito www.wcel.org/media-releas... #ShinHanga #Art #SosakuHanga #NoAi #Showa #KiyoshiSaito #Japan #Mood

Railway tracks depicted as slim white lines intersect and weave amongst each other across dirty gray earth. In the foreground, a signal light is showing us a steady red. Beyond, overlapping utility poles and industrial gridwork structures screen the shadowy shapes of blocky city buildings. Everything is still: there are no trains on the tracks, no life in the image, no lights in the distant buildings. Above, the sky is dingy and dark.

A small red-lacquered shinto shrine stands in a little forest clearing. The shrine is surrounded by tall cryptomeria trees, moss clinging to the bases of their trunks and growing nearby in clumps across the ground. Above, a tiny glimpse of sky afforded by a break in the tree canopy shows an overcast day. There are no people in the scene.

A view of West Mitten Butte, East Mitten Butte, and Merrick Butte in Arizona's Monument Valley. In the foreground, the desert is quiet and still, the three imposing sandstone buttes rising up out of the flat arid landscape.

The Sanmon Gate at Kenchoji Temple, Kamakura, on a bright summer's day.

Early morning on the Dotonbori canal, in Osaka. A lone pilot steers a small wooden boat loaded with cargo along the water; up ahead, the silhouette of a similar boat is disappearing into the morning mist lingering on the canal. Alongside the water, landings and buildings are quiet and deserted; above, the light of dawn is just beginning to colour a scattering of clouds crossing the pale blue sky.

A dim evening by a country lake, somewhere in rural Japan. In the foreground, a small wooden boat is moored among reeds at the lakeshore, tied to a slender pole. On the far side of the lake, a small cluster of traditional thatched-roof buildings stands close to the water, tucked beneath tall trees; warm yellow light shines in the windows of the houses, reflecting and scattering across the calm surface of the lake. Beyond, a yellow full moon rises over low forested mountains and into a starless night sky.

A solitary figure carrying a large woven basket on their back trudges along the Nikko Kaido, one of the old routes connecting Edo and Nikko. The road is narrow, flat and unpaved; dappled sunlight falls across its surface. Growing close on either side of the road, tall green cryptomeria tower over the traveller, providing shade. Up ahead, a break in the trees allows the sunshine to stream in. Above, puffy white clouds populate an intense blue sky.

A full moon illuminates a pair of tiny, rocky islands in Japan's Matsushima Bay. A scattering of pine trees cling to the little islands, some growing at odd angles and their grip looking a bit precarious. On our right, a small wooden boat carrying two occupants glides along the calm waters of the bay. Further on, moonlight is scattered across the surface of the ocean; on the opposite side of the bay, dim silhouettes of more islands and distant mountains populate the horizon. Above, the bright full moon shines through a break in ragged clouds.
