Travel notes III (Souvenir of the journey, Third Collection) Bishu Kamezaki 1928

Art Appreciation

This evocative print captures a quiet evening scene by a riverside street in Bishu Kamezaki, as told through the serene lens of early 20th-century Japan. The print masterfully deploys subtle gradations of deep blues and muted greens, conjuring the calm mystery of twilight. A tall tree with richly textured leaves stands prominently on the left, its form almost silhouetted against a sky streaked with scattered clouds, each defined with delicate layering of ink washes. The gentle flow of water alongside a stone wall adds a sense of peaceful movement, contrasting the stillness of the darkened buildings on the right, whose faintly glowing windows offer a warm, human touch amid the quiet night. Vertical telephone poles rise like silent sentinels, threading a modern note into this tranquil rural setting.
