Japan & the Far East
Sengen, Goddess of Mount Fuji
A pale-robed woman floats above a field of mountain clouds, her long ribbons curling outward through the sky. The source identifies Sengen, goddess of Mount Fuji. Evelyn Paul lets clothing and atmosphere flow into one another, making the airborne figure part of the landscape’s movement rather than placing her firmly on the ground. Small birds and scattered floral forms extend the open space around her.
