Description

*Shirakino #4* (2019), a water-based woodcut on paper by Yuasa Katsutoshi, depicts a coastal landscape at dusk: a dark, rocky shoreline in silhouette across the lower third of the composition, with pale pink patches of reflected light pooling in shallow water at right. Above, a gradient sky shifts from soft pink along the horizon through mauve-grey into pale blue-green at the top, with a scattering of small white specks along the horizon line suggesting distant lights or surf. The palette is limited to soft blue, pink, grey, and white, giving the scene a quiet, still atmosphere.
