Description

The entirety of the village of Narusawa is located within the borders of Japan’s Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, which was established in the same year that Kawase Hasui’s “Mt. Fuji, Narusawa” image was printed. The park partially encompasses the foothills of Mt Fuji as well, seen here as the backdrop to an idyllic scene of a family farm - likely growing vegetables - as a mother and daughter perform their daily chores. A drift of late autumn clouds forms above the distant forest, whose leaves have turned in preparation for winter.
