Description
An atmospheric composition by Ishiwata Koitsu in the shin-hanga manner, its specific subject not preserved in available records. The print participates in the broader project of the New Prints movement to document and interpret the atmospheric character of Japanese landscape — the soft light of overcast winter days, the dramatic quality of storm light over water, the warm intimacy of lamp-lit streets — through the collaborative woodblock printing system that the movement had adapted from the Edo-period ukiyo-e tradition.
