This winter scene looks across a snow-covered hamlet in 白馬村 (Hakuba Village), where thatched houses, bare trees, and a small group of grave markers stand before the mountain landscape beyond. Okuyama’s composition captures the quiet weight of deep winter, with dark silhouettes of trees, rooftops, and 墓石 (gravestones) set against the broad whiteness of the snow. \u003c\/em\u003e❄️🏔️\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYear \u0026amp; Edition: Circa 1960-70s.

Trained by Kosaka Gajin and ukiyo-e master Ishii Kendō, he fused bold modern graphics with classical technique. After the war he founded the Japan Print Institute and his Matsudo studio; his own prints - and woodblock homages to Hiroshige and Van Gogh - now appear in major museum collections worldwide. \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/xm7kjz-qq.myshopify.com\/collections\/fumio-kitaoka\" title=\"北岡文雄 Fumio Kitaoka (1918-2007)\"\u003e[\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca title=\"奥山儀八郎 Gihachiro Okuyama (1907-1981)\" href=\"https:\/\/xm7kjz-qq.myshopify.com\/collections\/gihachiro-okuyama\"\u003e ← View All Works by Gihachiro Okuyama\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/xm7kjz-qq.myshopify.com\/collections\/fumio-kitaoka\" title=\"北岡文雄 Fumio Kitaoka (1918-2007)\"\u003e]\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kumo Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57325468909912,"sku":null,"price":280.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/6745\/8648\/files\/GihachiroOkuyama-HosonoHamletThmb.jpg?v=1779219902","url":"https:\/\/www.kumoarts.com\/products\/gihachiro-okuyama-hosono-hamlet-hakuba-village","provider":"Kumo Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
