The air that exists in the paintings feels strangely like a familiar scene, evoking memories and emotions that have lain dormant in the depths of the mind. The beauty of the overlapping colors, which is unique to woodblock prints, and the careful interaction between the print and the artist are evident in this work, which we hope you will cherish and enjoy.
