The charming woodblock print "Niwa tazumi" (Heavy Rainfall) is by Katsuyuki Nishijima. First printed in 1998.  Please note this is a small size print paper height is 6 inches and the width is 8 inches. Wonderful details with strong colors. Excellent shading, bold colors, and strong ink bleed-through.  Nishijima uses old words as a title, which people are not used to using in their daily lives recently. Sometimes I ask Nishijima directly. I think he wants to put Japanese spirits or cultures which have been forgotten into his art. Nishijima's umbrella prints are very attractive and popular.
