About This Print
Not quite a "red Fuji," Miyashita gives us a view of Fuji at dusk, with the mountain taking on a deep purple hue. Â One of Miyashita's post-1980s prints1, displaying a move back towards realism from the abstraction of his works created in the 1970s. Â This print is very similar to the artist's 2002 print Daybreak at Mt. Fuji, shown below, and featured in The Library of Congress online exhibition On the Cutting Edge, Contemporary Japanese Prints from the 50th College Women's Association of Japan Print Show.
