- Kako no Shiki (The Season at the Estuary) -

The tranquil woodblock print Kako no Shiki (“The Season at the Estuary”) is by Yasushi Omoto (1926–2014). This work is part of his popular Silver Series. The large-format print depicts a quiet landscape at a secluded estuary, with a lighthouse in the distance and seasonal flowers blooming in the foreground. As characteristic of the Silver Series, the top and bottom areas of the image feature a metallic silver finish, creating a beautifully atmospheric and subtly mysterious scene. There is also some silver coloring on the tall grass in the middle of the image.
