Red Gate at Hongo 1932

"Red Gate at Hongo" is a woodblock print created by Shotei Takahashi in 1932. The print depicts a snow-covered scene in Tokyo, with a traditional red gate (torii) and a rickshaw driver pulling a passenger in the foreground. Takahashi was known for his detailed and realistic depictions of Japanese landscapes and cityscapes, often incorporating traditional elements into his work. The vivid colors and fine lines in "Red Gate at Hongo" are characteristic of the shin-hanga movement, which sought to revive the art of traditional Japanese woodblock printing in the 20th century.
