"Hangeshou" names the period in the traditional calendar following the rainy season's end — the brief window when the air clears, the ground is still saturated, and the world seems freshly remade. Nishijima renders a traditional townscape in this post-rainy-season mood: the colors saturated by residual moisture, the surfaces gleaming with absorbed water, the atmosphere carrying that characteristic summer clarity that follows weeks of grey. His sensitivity to the specific quality of post-rain light in the context of traditional architecture gives this print its particular freshness.
