Tsuchiya Koitsu - After moving to Tokyo at age fifteen, Koitsu studied for many years with the woodblock artist Kobayashi Kiyochika. Known for his beautiful landscape prints with a dramatic use of light and shade, Koitsu was one of the leaders of the shin-hanga or new print movement in 20th century Japan.

Comments - Lovely view of the shore at Maiko on a moonlit night. A pine tree frames a view of boats in the distance, the full moon above reflected on the shimmering surface of the water. A beautiful night scene and a rarely seen Koitsu design.
