Modern | Sōsaku Hanga Woodblock Print
Katsuyuki Nishijima’s woodblock print “伊香立の民家” (House in Ikadachi) descends stone steps past timber farmhouses (minka, 民家) and white‐plaster storehouses (kura, 蔵), under autumn leaves rendered in delicate goma-zuri speckles. Golden fields beyond. A serene glimpse of Ōtsu’s rural hillside.🍂🏠
