Gihachiro Okuyama’s circa 1960-70s Woodblock “寺次村 (Teratsugi Village)” presents a tranquil snow-blanketed hamlet, where thatched-roof houses bow under thick drifts and villagers trudge along a wintry path beneath skeletal trees. The stark silhouettes and soft grey skies evoke the serene resilience of rural Japan. ❄️🏠🌲
