Yakushima 8F (45.5 x 37.9 cm) by Yoshio Okunishi

¥265,000

This painting captures a mystical natural landscape shrouded in mist.

The painting features a vague mountain silhouette in the background and a lush green grassland in the foreground dotted with pink and white flowers, expressing the gentleness and wild beauty of nature.

The misty air and the soft colors of the plants give the feeling of the humid environment that is unique to Yakushima.

This work poetically and sensitively depicts the tranquil yet vital nature of Yakushima, providing viewers with a sense of inner peace.
