Goyo melds the great Japanese woodblock landscape tradition, in a print that reminds us of Hiroshige, with western landscape art. The scene could almost be rural France. The colorful rocks, grass and figures stand out against the rolling gray hills softened by the heavy rainfall. The vertical sheeting rain is clearly a nod to the art of Hiroshige. In Goyo痴 design the rain is highlighted with silver mica- an especially effective technique- very beautiful. This Goyo reprint- In the 1970痴 a small group of woodblock reprints were made of Goyo痴 incredible images. His prints are so rare and sought after, these prints offered an opportunity to have a Goyo print without the expense of an original. This print comes with both original folders. It is in the original heavy rag presentation inner folder which fits inside a titled outer folder. See photo with inner folder.
