Visu on Mount Fuji: The Enchanted Game
Two richly dressed women sit beside a brook absorbed in a game of go, while a misty figure watches from the background. The plate is captioned Visu on Mount Fuji-yama. In Davis’s story, Visu believes he has watched for an afternoon, although three hundred years pass; the players then turn into foxes. Paul places the beautiful, concentrated players in the foreground and the woodman within the dimmer mountain space beyond.
