About the Item

“White Reflection” by Akira Nagasawa presents Mount Fuji with a quiet purity that feels both timeless and serene. The snow-covered peak rises sharply against a clear blue sky, its crisp silhouette emphasizing the cold brilliance of winter. Subtle gradations of blue within the ridges echo the sky behind it, creating a natural harmony that anchors the entire composition. Soft, warm-toned clouds drift gently near the foot of the mountain, while a pale moon above introduces a delicate sense of time. At first glance the painting appears simple, yet a closer look reveals refined layers of mineral pigments and carefully controlled brushwork. The balance between cool and warm tones creates a peaceful visual rhythm that conveys the stillness of nature and the clarity of winter air. “White Reflection” reflects Nagasawa’s signature style, which combines luminous color, precision, and understated elegance. The work celebrates the dignified beauty of Mount Fuji while expressing the subtle emotional language of Japanese painting. It is a piece that invites both contemplative viewing and close appreciation of detail. Akira Nagasawa is a member of the Nihon Bijutsuin and a recipient of the Kamakura Museum of Modern Art Award. He is known for paintings that feature tranquil atmospheres, luminous color harmonies, and a refined sensitivity to nature.
