Ikenohata at Night 1921

"Ikenohata at Night" is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Ito Shinsui. Created in 1921, the piece depicts a tranquil nighttime scene in Tokyo's Ikenohata district. Shinsui masterfully uses a limited palette of blues and grays to create a sense of peaceful solitude as the city sleeps under a star-studded sky. The silhouette of a lone figure walking past a brightly lit building adds a sense of mystery to this atmospheric print.
