Description
This oban woodblock print is cataloged under a numeric identifier rather than a descriptive title, indicating that the original title information has been separated from the image in the course of collection or digitization. Kamei Tobei specialized in landscapes and views of Kyoto, and this print likely depicts one of the Kyoto-area subjects that constituted the core of his artistic practice. The numeric catalog designation, while unhelpful for identifying the specific scene, does not diminish the print's visual content. Kamei's work is characterized by careful attention to atmospheric conditions and architectural detail, qualities that remain legible in the print regardless of its catalog status. The oban format is consistent with his standard output for the shin-hanga market.
