Condition: An outstanding piece, particularly given age. Strong colours with no notable marks or blemishes. Paper crisp & intact, very faint browning outer margin. Please refer to photos / Contact for any further questions & condition report.
Notes: A beautiful print depicting a wintry scene in the remote Japanese countryside. A very atmospheric print capturing the crispness of winter; these quiet, quintessential scenes of Japan are some of Kitaoka’s finest & less-seen pieces given typically his earlier works. Beautifully depicting the profound sense of humanity’s fleeting presence in time: two solitary figures brave the elements as they trudge toward the snow-capped, forested hills beyond.
