Notes: A fabulous print by Gihachiro Okuyama titled “秋田の杉山 (Cedar Mountains, Akita),” depicting a wintry countryside township in Akita Prefecture. Traditional townhouses blanketed in deep snow look across a frozen lake, with the opposing bank set against the backdrop of cedar-lined mountain ranges. Akita’s renowned cedar trees (秋田杉, Akita-sugi), prized for their exceptional straightness, fine grain, and durability, have been cultivated for centuries and symbolize the enduring beauty of the region. A wonderful piece capturing the quiet charm of rural Japan in winter. *(Pencil Signed) - Of Okuyama’s rarer, larger-sized, pencil-signed edition.
