Japanese woodblock print by Tsuchiya Koitsu, Tsuchiya Koitsu's woodblock print, "Boats at Shinagawa, Night"
, depicts two boats on Tokyo Bay under a full moon. The print was created around 1935 and is a prime example of the Shin-hanga movement, which revived traditional Japanese woodblock printing with Western artistic influences. The image is notable for its tranquil atmosphere, with the soft glow of the moon reflecting on the water and the subtle light from the distant shoreline. Koitsu was known as a master of "nocturnes," or nighttime scenes, which were very popular and helped establish his reputation. |
