Modern | Sōsaku Hanga Woodblock Print
Katsuyuki Nishijima’s woodblock print “一保堂” (Ippodo Tea Shop) captures fresh flowers heaped high in a wicker cart outside Kyoto’s storied Ippodo Tea Shop. The shop's green noren hang beneath tiled eaves, emblazoned 茶一保堂, while the flower cart brings a burst of colour to the stone-paved street - a charming moment where tradition and daily life meet. 🍵🌸
