Scottish printmaker Elspeth Lamb was head of the department of printmaking at Edinburgh College of Art until she stepped down to focus on being an artist. Green Tea and Fuji-San was created following an artist residency at Lake Kawaguchiko, Japan during autumn 2017. This piece was donated by the Royal Scottish Academy Rev. Dr. Arnott Hamilton Fund. Since being part of the collection, the artwork was displayed for several years at Victoria Hospice, Fife.
