This is a later impression, printed from the original woodblocks after the artist's death. The scene captures the atmosphere of an older era, depicting a girl in a long-sleeved kimono along with a lattice door, a shrine lantern, a round window, shoji screens, a stone lantern, and a woven fence, among other elements. The light spilling from the entrance is rendered in a vivid red, contrasting sharply with the darkness outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTsuchiya Koitsu (1870-1949) was born in Hamamatsu. He entered the studio of Kobayashi Kiyochika in 1886 and trained as an in-house pupil until 1904. Encouraged by Watanabe Shozaburo, he took up shin-hanga printmaking, and his 1936 \"Tokyo Views\" series is regarded as a masterpiece of shin-hanga landscape work alongside Kawase Hasui's \"Twenty Views of Tokyo.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36.3 cm x 24 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well printed.
