Description
A spare, contemplative print from Yuhan Ito held in the Harvard Art Museum collection, this work demonstrates the hallmarks of his shin-hanga approach: quiet atmosphere, restrained color, and a scene drawn from the familiar landscape of Japan. Ito works within the tradition of atmospheric landscape printing, filtering observed nature through a sensibility shaped by both classical Japanese aesthetics and the refined production standards of the 1930s woodblock revival.
