Notes: A wonderful print by Gihachiro Okuyama titled “水郷 (Village Waterways)” depicting a serene rural scene of Japan’s lowland waterways. A lone boatman wearing traditional 菅笠 (“sugegasa”) - conical straw hat - quietly paddles through the canal, approaching a wooden footbridge. A dusting of snow. Capturing an expanse of rice paddies stretching toward the horizon, once again Okuyama evokes a timeless connection to Japan’s agricultural heritage & rural everyday life. *(Pencil Signed) - Of Okuyama’s rarer, larger-sized, pencil-signed edition.
