- Fuyu no Asama (Mt. Asama in Winter) - Haiku The print depicts a weepingThe small woodblock print 'Fuyu no Asama' (Mt. Asama in Winter) is by Unichi Hiratsuka (18951997). Asama refers primarily to Mount Asama, an active volcano on the border of Nagano and Gunma Prefectures. It is included in both the list of Japans 100 Famous Mountains and the list of 100 Famous Mountains Known for Their Beautiful Flowers. In this work, however, Hiratsuka presents the trees in their quiet winter state, beyond the flowering season.
