A moody, high-contrast black and white photograph captures a paved path winding into a dense forest veiled in thick fog. A lone figure walking in the distance.

Portrait photo looking down a u-shaped glacial valley. Foreground shows some pine trees, and then a flat gravel glacial outwash in the middle distance with steep slopes on either side. A further ridge is partly showing through torn clouds and the sky is starting to clear but with clouds still hugging the sides of the frame especially.

Japanese printmaker Koichi Sakamoto (b. 1932) is known for his detailed intaglio prints, specifically using the mezzotint etching technique.
His work often focuses on serene, snow-covered landscapes and traditional Japanese winter village scenes, characterized by a muted, monochromatic palette.
This is a mezzotint etching by Japanese artist Koichi Sakamoto. The work is titled "Late at Night." It depicts a serene winter landscape with traditional farmhouses with thatched roofs covered in a thick layer of snow.
