Arashiyama, Kyoto 1897

"Arashiyama, Kyoto" is a woodblock print created by Kobayashi Kiyochika in 1897. The print depicts a picturesque scene of a moonlit night in Arashiyama, a scenic area in Kyoto, Japan. The artist masterfully uses woodblock printing techniques to capture the serenity and beauty of the landscape, featuring a prominent pine tree, a river flowing through rocky terrain, and a bridge in the distance, all bathed in the soft light of the moon. This work is a prime example of Kiyochika's mastery of ukiyo-e, a popular Japanese art style that flourished in the Edo period.
