A Japanese woodblock landscape print in the nineteenth century manner. Fine carved key block outline, flat printed colour fields with no blending inside them, a hand wiped bokashi gradient in the sky from deep indigo to pale grey. Strong diagonal composition with a pine branch cropped by the top of the frame, small travellers on a coastal road, a distant mountain. Soft fibrous paper, slight wood grain visible in the flat areas, a small red seal in the corner.
