Modern | Sōsaku Hanga Woodblock Print
A fabulous print by Katsuyuki Nishijima: 夕色 (Evening Colours). This woodblock looks across the kawara rooftops and plaster walls of an old town beneath a glowing evening sky of orange, gold, and red. 🌇
- Year & Edition: Open edition. Signed & titled in pencil.
- Medium: Woodblock.
- Dimensions: Sheet W: 25.50 cm × H: 33.00 cm. Image W: 19.75 cm × H: 27.50 cm.

- Notes: Nishijima often returns to the rooftops and upper storeys of traditional Japanese towns, using kawara tiles, plaster walls, and timber lines to evoke the character of older streets. Here, the emphasis is less on a specific location than on the changing light itself, with the roofs below set against a broad evening sky.
