Schemersneeuw te Matsuchiyama 1896

"Schemersneeuw te Matsuchiyama" is a woodblock print by Kobayashi Kiyochika, a prominent artist of the shin hanga (new prints) movement in Japan, created in 1896. This artwork depicts a serene scene of a river with two figures in a boat, seemingly pushing off from the shore. The muted colors, delicate brushstrokes, and minimalist composition evoke a sense of calm and peace. Kiyochika's print showcases his talent for capturing the beauty of everyday life in Japan, particularly the rural landscapes.
