Subject Matter:

Copied from (1958/2.2)
Saito Kiyoshi was a 20th-century Sosaku-hanga artist, a movement that emphasized self-expression and the individual creation of prints. He issued his first prints in the now-famous "Winter in Aizu" series. This series was based on his hometown in Fukushima prefecture.

Physical Description:

This print depicts a monochromatic winter scene in a town. There are barren trees that obscure the view of a small town with roofs covered in snow. There is a red seal in the bottom left with a signature.
