Modern | Sōsaku Hanga Woodblock Print
Katsuyuki Nishijima’s woodblock print “尾道の小径” (Path in Onomichi) looks down the stone steps of the Old Temple Loop, framed by its towering stone walls. Beyond the latticed façades and tiled roofs of hill-side machiya, the Seto Inland Sea shimmers under a cloud-flecked sky. A celebration of Onomichi’s temple walk and its coastal panorama. 🏯🌊
