Kajikazawa in Kai Province c. 1834 - 1837

"Kajikazawa in Kai Province" is a woodblock print by the Japanese artist Hokumyō, created between 1834 and 1837. This ukiyo-e print depicts a scene of two figures fishing from a rocky outcrop overlooking the sea. The composition is dominated by the vast expanse of the water, punctuated by the rhythmic lines of the waves. The scene is rendered in a minimalist style, with a limited palette of blues and greens, highlighting the dramatic beauty of the landscape. The print is part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection and is a notable example of Hokumyō's work during the latter half of the Edo period.
