Description
A sixth untitled print by Nakajima Kiyoshi. His poetically titled works — carrying titles like "Words of the Wind," "Thread Rain," "Misty Dream," and "Fleeting" — situate his printmaking within a classical Japanese literary tradition of sensitivity to transient natural beauty. The untitled works in his oeuvre represent a portion of his output catalogued before full title documentation was established, but they share the same atmospheric delicacy and nostalgic warmth that characterize his titled compositions.
