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.

Morning Fuji from Lake Kawaguchi, 1936 - Beautiful view of Mt. Fuji in the early morning from Lake Kawaguchi, the village along the shore and a single boat reflected on the calm waters. A few clouds drift across the sky, with a rosy pink tinge along the horizon at left as the sun rises. The first time we've offered this lovely design.
