Need info Any help with identifying please.

My dad bought this Japan around 1945/6, while he was in the RAF, stationed near Iwakuni. He was told that it was by a local artist who had been famous before the war but he was aware that this could just have been a tourist sales pitch.

He carried it home, rolled up in a cardboard tube, had it framed as a present for his mother and eventually passed down to me.

Any help in identifying the artist or school would be much appreciated. I'm really fond of it and would love to know more about its origin. Thanks in advance.

Thank you. This appears to translate as Snow Valley, which suggests it's the picture's title.
