Evening Glow at Ajiro 1939

"Evening Glow at Ajiro" is a 1939 woodblock print by famed Japanese artist Ito Shinsui (1898-1972). The print showcases Shinsui’s mastery of the shin-hanga style, capturing the serenity of a coastal scene with delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors. In the foreground, a simple fishing structure is juxtaposed with a larger boat in the distance, creating a sense of scale and perspective. The artist's signature, in red, adds an authentic touch to this beautiful example of traditional Japanese printmaking.
