Description
Cataloged under the Harvard Art Museum's institutional name rather than a descriptive title, this woodblock print by Nomura Yoshimitsu is held in the museum's collection of Asian art. Harvard's holdings include a substantial number of Japanese prints spanning from Edo-period ukiyo-e through twentieth-century shin-hanga, and Yoshimitsu's work sits within the latter category. The specific subject has not been recorded in available databases, though it almost certainly represents a Kyoto landscape consistent with the artist's primary focus. The print's inclusion in a major American university museum lends it scholarly provenance and places it within the broader institutional recognition of shin-hanga as a significant chapter in Japanese printmaking history.
