Modern | Sōsaku Hanga Woodblock Print
Katsuyuki Nishijima’s woodblock print “堅田舟だまり” (Katata Moorings) drifts three traditional wasen boats on Lake Biwa’s gentle waters, tethered to slender wooden posts. The muted palette and rhythmic ripples capture the hushed beauty of Katata’s shoreline at dawn. 🚣🌊
