Description
Yoichi is a small fishing town on the Shakotan Peninsula of Hokkaido, known for its dramatic coastal scenery and its whisky distillery. Ono's print of this northern location likely focuses on the town's relationship to the sea — the harbor, the boats, the compression of a fishing community against the rugged Hokkaido coastline. His northern subjects tend toward a visual austerity that suits both the landscape and his graphic sensibility.
