Description
The 1938 Winter in Aizu (Gobodo)—the Gobodo district being one of the farming communities in the Aizu basin—is a companion to the Aizu no fuyu print from the same year, showing Saito working through the subject from multiple angles at the very beginning of his engagement with it. The Gobodo variant likely focuses on a specific farmhouse or cluster of buildings in this particular district, the specificity of the place name suggesting a topographically precise subject rather than a generalized Aizu landscape.
