Description:A man with his head bowed against the wind and heavily laden horse make their way up a mountinside through the driving rain.Landscape prints by Takashi are reminiscent of German 19th century paintings and prints.Like Kawase Hasui, Ito Takashi shows seldom more than one person in his designs,creating an sense of solitude and sentimental mood. The style in which Takashi Ito prints were created looks more like brush stroke paintings than typical Japanese woodblock prints with inticate color gradations. An exceptionally beautiful and scarce image
