Comment |
Incredibly rare print by an artist known for only nine designs, all landscapes in Western perspective. As Richard Lane says,"His works are few but marked by poetic distinction; in imaginative employment of atmospheric effects he often surpasses Kiyochika and follows in the line of Hiroshige." Illustrated in Michener, Japanese Prints from the Early Masters to the Modern, #231. |
