Modern | Sōsaku Hanga Woodblock Print
Katsuyuki Nishijima’s woodblock print “湖の月” (Moon over Lake Biwa) silhouettes a stand of bare reeds against a deep-blue night sky, while a full moon casts a golden path across the water toward a distant peak - likely Mount Mikami, the “Fuji of Ōmi.” A tranquil tribute to autumn’s moonlit ambience on Japan’s largest lake. 🌕🌾
