Description
An unidentified atmospheric composition by Ishiwata Koitsu, its title lost but its visual character reflective of his sustained engagement with the shin-hanga tradition of atmospheric landscape printmaking. Ishiwata was particularly identified with the Yokohama and southern Kanto region, and many of his prints — documented and undocumented alike — likely depicted the coastal and urban landscapes of this area where he spent much of his career, the harbor views, the bridge scenes, the winter streets, and the twilight waterscapes that defined his pictorial world.
