Artist Signature: Shiro Artist Seal: Shiro Publisher: Watanabe Shôzaburô Publisher Seal: Round Watanabe 6mm seal A beautifully atmospheric print of the pagoda at Yanaka, Tokyo. The scene shows a figure hurrying past a pagoda on a rainy evening. Blue bokashi shading over a pale pink wash has been used to create the illusion of a rain-dark sky. A single street lamp shines in front of the pagoda, the light reflecting on the rain soaked ground.
