Untitled (hodo-nishimura)

An untitled Hodo woodblock print. The majority of Nishimura Hodo's identified works depict either women in traditional domestic or garden settings (bijin-ga) or birds and flowers across the Japanese seasonal calendar (kachō-ga). His untitled prints likely divide between these two streams of his practice, each work executed with the decorative refinement and atmospheric sensitivity that distinguish his best work.
