Description
An atmospheric landscape composition by Ishiwata Koitsu, its specific subject not documented in available records. The print belongs to the body of shin-hanga work produced during Japan's interwar years, when the New Prints movement was at the height of its artistic and commercial productivity. Ishiwata's contribution to this tradition was characterized by a particularly refined sense of atmospheric effect — the soft gradations of a misty morning, the reflected light of a snowy evening, the warm glow of lanterns in urban darkness.
