My forest

The title's first-person framing distinguishes this print from a [meisho-e](/glossary/meisho-e) of a named site: rather than identifying a specific forest, the work presents an interior, personal landscape, an approach more aligned with sōsaku-hanga values of self-expression than with the documentary tradition. The image likely concentrates on tree trunks and canopy, with the compositional weight carried by vertical repetition and the negative space between trunks. Mokuhanga lends itself to this subject through flat color blocks for foliage masses, tonal [bokashi](/glossary/bokashi) for atmospheric depth between near and far trees, and the grain of the woodblock itself sometimes left visible to suggest bark or undergrowth. Carved-line work, if present, would be sparse, with form and depth carried instead by overlapping color registrations. The print belongs to the strand of Miyamoto Shufu's work that treats trees and woodland as primary subject — a recurring motif across his landscapes — and reads as a quiet, unpopulated interior scene rather than a vista.
