A John Muir quote print: “The mountains are calling and I must go.” From Muir’s letter from Yosemite Valley in 1873, set over Kawase Hasui’s Near Susono (1930), Mount Fuji at dusk.

About the Print

Hasui’s view of Mount Fuji rising above a belt of evening cloud and dark fields near Susono fades softly into the paper, so the quote sits in the sky above the peak. The line comes from a letter Muir wrote to his sister on September 3, 1873, first published in The Life and Letters of John Muir (1924), and is checked word for word against it.
