  2. From the Fang Lu battle at the end of Water Margin. Zhang Jun, the chief of the navy, is trying to break through the castle’s floodgates. The sharp eyes, muscular body, and carvings all over the body convey the ferocity. In the original story, #Kuniyoshi portrays Zhang Jun, who dies in battle, as a hero who has broken through the gate.

  3. Making good progress on my next woodblock print - a copy of a little known print by Ikeda Taishin. The key block is carved, so I'm now working on the colour blocks.

  7. The rain in *Night Rain at Karasaki* falls in delicate, parallel strokes, dissolving the pine’s silhouette into the mist. This evanescent touch suggests nature’s fleeting presence, not just as scenery but as a living force.

    How does the contrast between the pine’s solid form and the rain’s dissolving lines shape the mood of the scene?

  9. A mother’s hand steadies a bamboo-handled umbrella over her child, its paper panels glowing against the ink-dark sky. The folds of her kimono ripple with cranes in flight, as if the fabric itself breathes.

    What does the child’s upturned gaze reveal about the weight of shelter?

    is long

  12. Rain slashes across the scene in precise white strokes, dissolving the shrine’s lanterns into a blur. Hiroshige’s synthetic Prussian blue floods the paper, turning night into something luminous and alive.

    Why do the figures’ umbrellas tilt at the same angle as the falling rain?
