WRITTEN IN FRENCH

A true celebration of the mountain, this box set, accompanied by an explanatory booklet, displays in an accordion format more than sixty works by the great masters of printmaking.
From the most fascinating views of Mount Fuji, a sacred icon of Japan, to the dizzying waterfalls carved into the rocks, steep paths winding through the heart of pine forests, along the emblematic roads of the Tokaido, or leading to temples clinging to the side of cliffs, each of these prints reveals a mysterious and changing mountain, alternately covered with cherry trees in bloom in the spring or glowing maples in the fall.
The artists enjoy varying the points of view endlessly, in a spectacle that has attracted many travelers for centuries: alone or in small groups, they walk through these grandiose landscapes, the mountain becoming the symbol of an initiatory journey and the deep ties that unite the Japanese with nature.
