"Chinichi" — a warm spring day — captures the particular quality of Japanese spring weather in its most agreeable form: clear but not harsh, warm without heaviness, the air carrying the faint sweetness of opening flowers. Nishijima renders a traditional streetscape or architectural scene in the palette appropriate to this seasonal mood — the colors brightening from winter's greys without yet achieving summer's full saturation, the shadows shortening as the sun climbs higher. Spring was perhaps the richest season for Nishijima's topographic sensibility, offering the contrast of ancient architecture against the renewal of the natural world.
CHINICHI (spring day) was created by Katsuyuki Nishijima (西島勝之).
