Modern | Sōsaku Hanga Woodblock Print
Katsuyuki Nishijima’s woodblock print “黒門の舗” (Store in Kuromon) frames a cedar‐slatted machiya front, its latticed shutters and pale yellow noren contrasted by a line of vibrant wagasa umbrellas resting on granite flagstones. A blue sky of soft clouds peek above the roof tiles - a quietly festive snapshot of Kyoto’s historic Kuromon quarter. 🌂🏙️
