Woodblock Print by Okada Koichi As the summer days evaporate into fall, the forests surrounding Mount Fuji light up. In this 1950s print Okada Koichi illuminates the vibrant colors of the changing leaves against the dusky rock of the mountain slopes. The scene looking across the placid lake Ashi seems so peaceful, but perhaps there is a warning here too. The circular crater on the eastern flank is a clearly visible reminder of the volcano’s last eruption 300 years ago; so while Mount Fuji sleeps today, one day it will awake again.
