Asama Zansetsu 浅間残雪（あさまざんせつ）｜ Watanabe Yoichi 渡辺洋一（わたなべ よういち） This woodblock print captures Mount Asama with lingering snow beneath a clear blue spring sky. As an active volcano, Mount Asama has very little vegetation, revealing its dark rocky surface. The striking contrast between the white of the remaining snow and the vivid blue sky creates a powerful and refined visual impact. Rather than focusing on fine details, the composition is intentionally simplified, resulting in a balanced and modern aesthetic that remains timeless and never tires the viewer. While many woodblock artists work in divided roles of drawing, carving, and printing, Yoichi Watanabe is among the rare artists who completes all processes entirely by himself. This dedication gives the work a strong sense of unity and authenticity. The edition is limited to 100 prints, and this example is number 51. The work is signed in pencil by the artist. --- Artist Profile 1951 Born in Japan. Deeply influenced by the art of ukiyo-e, he devoted himself to the study of woodblock printing.
