Hiroshige

I don't like the food in Italy.

Today I went to see an exposition on the world famous Japanese print artist, Hiroshige. It totalled to 200 of his works. They were so small but beautiful. I would like to try this technic.

They were prints created with watercolors placed ontop of a carved cherry blossom block. He depticted mostly nature and Japanese culture. I think he was an enthusiast of his country. He really makes Japan seem like a beautiful place. I forgot that it snowed in Japan! I prefered his prints with less color, even though he is known for his fluid ways with ink.
