Description
A twenty-fifth untitled work by Nakajima Kiyoshi. The atmospheric delicacy that characterizes his practice — the way his prints seem suffused with light and air, the figures within them embedded in rather than posed against their natural settings — reflects both the technical sophistication of his woodblock approach and the depth of his observational engagement with the Japanese natural world. These qualities are present in untitled and titled works alike.
