Shinsai Cherries and Rain Print

 #Shinsai #cherryblossom #rain #surimono #japaneseprint

SHINSAI early 19th century 

Its still raining in #sydney !!! sooo ...



The cherry blossoms and rainfall is rendered in a very formal stylized manner but this contrasts with the texture of the tree trunk and the gray middle tones of the rain 

Note the white streak contrasting with the darker gray lines for the rain something easier to do with wood carving and careful block inking than ink on paper with a brush.
