Description
This 1936 print bearing the designation "Tsuchiya-koitsu" likely references or responds to the work of Tsuchiya Koitsu (1870–1949), the shin-hanga landscape artist known for his nocturnal urban scenes, suggesting a possible collaboration, homage, or associated publication. It represents a significant moment in Kobayakawa's later career, when his output was sparser and his connections to the broader shin-hanga network more visible. The work invites consideration of cross-artist influence within the tight-knit Watanabe publisher circle.
