Twin Peaks is a mokuhanga woodblock print inspired by a winter hike to Mount Kumotori, the tallest mountain in Tokyo. After climbing through snow-covered forests before dawn, the landscape slowly emerged with the first morning light — quiet, expansive, and still. In the distance, Mount Fuji rises against the pale winter sky, anchoring the scene with a sense of calm and permanence.

The print captures the peaceful atmosphere of that sunrise moment: untouched snow reflecting soft light, dark cedar forests in shadow, and the silence that settles over the mountains in winter. Simplified shapes and layered colours emphasize both the cold clarity of the landscape and the meditative rhythm of walking through it.

Created using a reductive mokuhanga process, each layer was carved and printed progressively from the same woodblocks, allowing the image to evolve through stages of removal and colour layering. The natural textures of the woodgrain and hand-printing process contribute to the softness and quiet depth of the final image.

Printed in the traditional Japanese mokuhanga method, using a brush to apply water based inks and pressed by hand using a baren. This is an original handmade print and not a reproduction. Limited number of prints available, printed on handmade Shin Hosho washi paper.
