Title: Snow at Ukimido, Katada (1934)

Artist: Koitsu Tsuchiya

www.asahi.com/ajw/articles... #ShinHanga #Art #Showa #KoitsuTsuchiya #Winter #Snow #Aizurie #Japan
A view of Ukimido, Mangetsu-ji's floating temple hall, on a snowy winter evening. In the foreground, heavy snow weighs down a wiry pine tree standing on the shore of Lake Biwa. Beyond, Ukimido stands isolated on the surface of the lake, connected to the shore by a single narrow wooden bridge. Snow covers the little building's rooftop; a single dim lantern hangs from the rafters. The surface of Lake Biwa is calm, fading into the gloom beyond, making it impossible to tell where the water ends and the sky begins. Snow continues to fall across the scene. This image is an aizuri-e print, rendered almost entirely in shades of blue.

Torrential rain buckets down at the entrance of Futarasan Jinja, in Nikko. In the foreground, a tall torii gate is flanked by green trees on either side and a low stone wall on the left; on the ground, a trail of squared-off stepping stones leads through the gate. Beyond, a scattering of buildings stand against a backdrop of trees, low shadowy mountains, and an overcast sky. Intense rain pummels the scene, pooling on the road and obscuring details.

A view looking toward Mount Fuji, early on a cold winter's morning. In the foreground, snow weighs down the branches of wiry pine trees; beyond, a small sailboat crosses Suruga Bay, passing a treeless little island along the way. Further north, the earliest light of dawn is giving Mount Fuji's snowy peak a warm orange glow; the cloudless sky above is beginning to lighten with the coming day.

Title: Sengaku-ji at Takanawa, Tokyo (1933)

Artist: Koitsu Tsuchiya

www.fodors.com/world/asia/j... #ShinHanga #Art #Showa #KoitsuTsuchiya #Summer #47Ronin #SengakuJi #Minato #Tokyo #Japan
A dark, rainy evening at Sengaku-ji, in Tokyo. A female figure and a child approach the temple; she is carrying a bamboo umbrella over their heads with one hand, and a lit lantern suspended from a pole in the other. Up ahead, another figure is closing their umbrella as they climb a short series of steps leading into a temple building. A pair of tall wiry trees stand in the foreground, near another temple building; the courtyard is slick with rain, reflecting and scattering light from the woman's lantern and the interior of the temple. Above, the sky is dark and overcast, and rain continues to fall across the scene.

Title: Spring Snow at Maruyama, Kyoto (1936)

Artist: Koitsu Tsuchiya

www.japan.travel/en/spot/1177/ #ShinHanga #Art #Showa #KoitsuTsuchiya #Winter #Snow #MaruyamaPark #Kyoto #Japan
A view of Kyoto's Maruyama Park on a wintry late afternoon. A layer of fresh snow lies across shrubs and leafless trees. Two female figures in traditional dress share an umbrella as they stand by the park's pond, seemingly waiting for someone; another figure has crossed a short bridge up ahead and is approaching around the curve of the pond. Beyond, the shadows of the mountains around Kyoto draw a jagged line across a dim, overcast sky. Snow continues to fall across the scene.

An early morning view looking over Lake Kawaguchi, toward a snow-capped Mount Fuji beyond. In the foreground, a pair of wiry pine trees screen our view of the calm lake; on the far side of the water, Mount Fuji rises from a skirt of mist and a few puffy clouds, its eastern-facing flank tinted rose with the dawn.

A view of Matsushima Bay on a cool rainy spring day. In the foreground, wiry pine trees screen our view of the bay; out on the water, a small sailboat passes by a pair of small tree-covered islands. The sky above is overcast, yet, combined with the reflective surface of the still ocean, creates a soft luminescence. A light rain falls across the scene.
