Camblain-l'Abbé is a small commune in the Pas-de-Calais region of northern France, notable for its château and the surrounding agricultural landscape. Urushibara produced this print around 1923, likely following one of Brangwyn's European sketching expeditions. The subject — a quiet rural settlement in the French countryside — allowed Urushibara to apply Japanese woodblock sensitivity to the specific character of northern French architecture and its relationship to the flat, wide-skied landscape.
