Description
An unidentified atmospheric print from Ishiwata Koitsu's shin-hanga production. The print's subject is unrecorded, but its creation within the careful collaborative woodblock system of the New Prints movement ensures a level of technical refinement — in the precision of carving, the control of color gradation, and the quality of printing — that gives the work enduring visual interest whatever the scene it depicts. Ishiwata's atmospheric sensibility is preserved in this print's tonal relationships and compositional approach.
