HANGESHOU (after the rainy season)
Description
Three noren curtains bearing bold black characters hang across the slatted wooden facade of a shop, its surface rendered in vertical striations of dark brown and gray suggesting streaked rain or weathered wood. A red cart or bench sits at lower right, the single warm accent against the muted brown, gray, and cream palette. The composition is flat and graphic, framed frontally with no sky or figures visible. Woodblock print, "Hangeshou (After the Rainy Season)," by Katsuyuki Nishijima.
