Modern | Sōsaku Hanga Woodblock Print
Katsuyuki Nishijima’s woodblock print “下津井の屋並” (Houses in Shimotsui) surveys the tiled rooftops of Shimotsui's maritime storehouses. Once white plaster walls now weathered by time, beyond fishing boats drift on the Seto Inland Sea as the evening sun sets, light mirrored in the evening waters. A lovely homage to Shimotsui’s maritime heritage. 🏘️🌊.
