Katsuyuki Nishijima - 竹生島 (Chikubu Island)
Title: 竹生島 (Chikubu Island).
Artist: Katsuyuki Nishijima (1945-Present).
Signed & Dated: Signed and titled in Pencil. 2018.
Medium: Woodblock Print.
Paper Size: Approx: W: 33.00cm x H: 25.50cm.
Condition: Mint. Please refer to photos / Contact for any further questions & condition report.
Notes: Upon first glance, this image feels perhaps a little understated. However, like all of Nishijima’s works, the true significance of the piece comes to life when placed in context. Here, Nishijima depicts Chikubu Island - an island to the north of Lake Biwa - in silhouette, set against the backdrop of the surrounding coastline (possibly eastern coastline of Nagahama). Chikubu Island is another wonderful piece illustrating Nishijima’s close connection to Lake Biwa & the Eight Views of Omi.
