Description
This undocumented work — one of several untitled prints in Kazuma's output whose subjects cannot be confirmed from available records — likely belongs to one of the urban or landscape series that defined his career: the Tokyo and Osaka cityscapes, the hot spring views, the travel landscapes from his journeys around Japan. Without title or series confirmation, the print speaks through its visual qualities alone, the hand unmistakable in its combination of Western lithographic sensibility and Japanese printmaking tradition.
