Modern | Sōsaku Hanga Woodblock Print
Katsuyuki Nishijima’s woodblock print “鞍馬の雪” (Snow in Kurama) frames a narrow, snow-lined street in the onsen village of Kurama, where snow laden roofs slope beneath a rosy sky. A tōrō stone lantern stands sentinel at the corner, its softly carved form reflecting the tranquil hush of the season. ❄️🗻
