Modern | Sōsaku Hanga Woodblock Print
Katsuyuki Nishijima’s woodblock print “走り雨” (Rain Shower) shows a sudden downpour drenching the entrance to Kudaya inn. Streaks of rain slash across latticed windows and the wooden noren bearing 久田屋, while a lone kasa-hat hangs ready for travellers. Beneath the sign 宿人旅 (“Travelling Inn”), the warmly lit interior beckons - a quiet promise of refuge in historic Sanmachi Suji, Hida-Takayama. 🌧️🏠.
