Description: "Mountains of the Heart explores landscape through the eyes of Kameda Bosai, a poet, free spirit, and renowned master of the ehon (art-book) tradition. Depicting homes lost in the mists of immense foothills or small figures wandering through rolling valleys, Bosai's collection elegantly portrays the relationship between man and his environment, contrasting the transience of roads and other artificial structures with the immutability of their surroundings. Each image inspires reverence for nature's quiet power, conveying a sense of bucolic tranquility that the artist so lovingly immortalized with his rich, spontaneous style."--BOOK JACKET.
