This hanging scroll depicts the celebrated motif of Red Fuji. Executed with confident brushwork and subtle tonal shifts, the composition conveys a fleeting, luminous beauty.
Mount Fuji has long been venerated as Japan’s highest peak and is wrapped in legends of longevity. The mountain’s crimson glow at dawn—a rare spectacle that appears only under the right conditions—has been regarded since antiquity as a sacred omen of blessing.
In the painting, Mount Fuji rises above a sea of clouds, while layered ranges and a winding river trace a path through the landscape. The mountains suggest a calm realm removed from worldly cares; when viewing the work, allow your gaze to travel slowly from the foothills upward so you may feel the journey from base to summit. Because of its auspicious theme, this scroll is suitable for display throughout the year and is especially fitting for New Year celebrations.
The artist, Ueno Gyouan, is a Japanese painter specializing in sansui and landscape art.
