Description
A second undocumented work from Kazuma's output, likely relating to the urban or landscape subjects that occupied the majority of his career. Kazuma's prolific production — spanning lithographs and woodblock prints across five decades — inevitably generated works whose titles and series affiliations have been lost or were never formally recorded. Even without documentation, the print would carry the formal qualities that distinguish his work: the atmospheric handling of light, the confident organization of urban or natural space, the blend of Western plein-air sensibility and Japanese printmaking tradition.
