Kobayashi Kiyochika Prints – Japanese Views & Figures
Kobayashi Kiyochika prints bring Japanese waterways, mountain views and figures together in upright compositions. Small boats, distant land and closely framed details provide different ways into the selection catalogued as One Hundred Views of Musashi. Browse unframed prints, framed prints and canvas panels, alongside Japanese art and Japanese landscape prints.
The waterway and its distant shore
One Hundred Views of Musashi, No. 4 opens across pale blue water dotted with boats towards a green mountain. Near vessels and more distant sails establish several levels of space within the narrow format. Other water views can be compared through the balance of shoreline, open water and distant land.
A close bank and a distant mountain
One Hundred Views of Musashi, No. 18 brings a high, tree-covered edge into the foreground, with a pale mountain visible beyond. The change between near vertical forms and distant open space gives the view its structure. Browse Japanese landscape art for further compositions built around depth and framing.
Figures and the edge of the image
One Hundred Views of Musashi, No. 27 gives a red-clad foreground figure a prominent place at one edge, with smaller faces beyond. The close framing offers a contrast with the more open waterside views. Looking across the selection reveals how different subjects occupy the same upright format.
