Description
An untitled print by Ishiwata Koitsu reflecting his characteristic shin-hanga atmospheric sensibility. The subject is unrecorded but the print's existence within his known catalog attests to the breadth of his compositional interests across the landscape and urban subjects that dominated his career. Whether a river view, a coastal scene, a temple in snow, or an urban nocturne, this print participates in the atmospheric tradition that defined his contribution to Japanese printmaking in the twentieth century.
