Description
A thirtieth untitled print by Nakajima Kiyoshi. His oeuvre demonstrates the continued vitality of the Japanese woodblock print tradition in the postwar decades, a period when the medium might have seemed anachronistic but instead found in artists like Nakajima a new generation of practitioners who brought contemporary sensibilities to ancient techniques. His particular gift — rendering atmospheric and meteorological phenomena with the precision and sensitivity usually reserved for the human figure — ensured his work a distinctive place in the tradition.
