Vissersdorpje Possibly 1909

"Vissersdorpje" (Fishing Village) is a woodblock print by the Japanese artist Kamisaka Sekka, created around 1909. The print depicts a simplified, almost abstract, view of a village with thatched roof houses, viewed through a network of fishing nets. The composition is dominated by a dark blue sky, creating a sense of serenity and stillness. Sekka's unique style, influenced by both traditional Japanese art and Western influences, is evident in the flat planes of color and the geometric forms. The work is currently in the collection of the Rijksmuseum.
