Gihachiro Okuyama’s mid-century Woodblock “雪の一軒屋 (House in the Snow)” depicts a solitary thatched farmhouse under a thick blanket of snow, framed by a bare tree, a lone telephone pole, and a single cedar - all rendered in crisp black outlines and gentle gray tones. The serene composition evokes the hushed stillness of rural Japan in deep winter. ❄️🏠
