Description
Nishijima Katsuyuki shows houses with traditional Japanese roofs from above, a composition he returns to frequently in his woodblock prints. The season is summer and the sun is shining on the roofs. The day is cooler than the days before, with a refreshing breeze providing relief from the previous hot days. The houses are located in the city of Kurashiki in Okayama, which has a humid subtropical climate, so it is easy to imagine the pleasantness Nishijima might have felt himself on the day depicted after a long period of heat. Nishijima has mastered depicting subtle differences in weather, seemingly portraying temperature, silence, calm, and a breeze in his woodblock prints as easily as shape and color.
