Contemporary Japanese artist Sawako Utsumi presents another charming mountain landscape, where themes of continuity, space, and time are naturally fused with a dreamlike atmosphere.

In the artwork above, Sawako Utsumi gently honors the legacy of Hagiwara Hideo (1913–2007), yet she breathes her own spirit into the canvas. A stark white tree rises boldly against a glowing yellow mountain, beneath a vivid, low-hanging red skyline—each element pulsating with energy, renewal, and life. Through these vibrant contrasts, she weaves a layered reinterpretation that both reveres and re-imagines the very soul of Hagiwara’s vision.
