Description
This untitled woodblock print by Okumura Koichi represents his ongoing work within the shin-hanga tradition as published by Unsodo. Okumura's training in nihonga Japanese-style painting informed both his compositional instincts and his sensitivity to tonal nuance, qualities that translated effectively into the woodblock medium's graduated wash techniques. His landscapes — whether depicting mountain towns, lakeside reflections, or seasonal groves — rely on carefully calibrated bokashi gradations built up through successive printing passes on damp washi paper. The subject of this particular print cannot be confirmed without additional documentation, but it belongs to a body of work that earned Okumura a strong reputation within the Kyoto shin-hanga world for its atmospheric restraint and technical refinement.
