Modern | Sōsaku Hanga Woodblock Print
Katsuyuki Nishijima’s woodblock print “吹屋の屋並” (Roofs of Fukiya) captures the warm red-ochre “bengara” plaster walls & Sekishugawara tiled roofs of Fukiya Furusato Village, set against forested hills. The layered architecture of Edo-Meiji merchant townhouses offers a timeless glimpse of Japan’s copper-mining heritage. 🏠🌳.
