Night Rain at Karasaki

Night Rain at Karasaki - Fantastic view of the huge pine at Karasaki, towering over the stone embankment in a night rain. Beautiful image in soft tones of grays and blues, with heavy gray raindrops falling straight down. A lovely, atmospheric design.

Woodblock reprints - In the 20th century, artists and publishers collaborated to recreate famous woodblock prints for interested Japanese collectors and Westerners looking for rare designs. New blocks were made, and the prints were painstakingly printed by artisan printers in the same method as the 19th century originals - one block for each color. Woodblock reprints were an opportunity to collect and enjoy a famous design at a small fraction of the price of an original. They still are today.
