Japanese Hills Horizontal: 32x48 Limited Edition Framed Print

Japanese Hills Horizontal: 32x48 Limited Edition Framed PrintIn the foothills of the Japanese Alps, the mountains build in a series of geometrical ridges and valleys covered with deciduous beech trees. On the faces of the hills, the forests appear sparse and skeletal, but as the faces rise to the gentle ridge tops, the density of the trees compound and the depth of these treed ridges give the entire landscape a topographic graphic unique to the area. Each limited edition print includes a one inch white border
