Title
Lake
Biwa
by
Starry
Night
,
front
view
Description
One
of
two
prints
from the
Hasegawa
series
, and in
fact
represent
one
of the
aspects
unique
to the
woodblock
print
process
.
Using
exactly
the
same
blocks
, but
inking
them with
different
sets
of
colors
, the
printers
were
able
to
produce
visions
of the
same
scene
at
different
times
of
day
.
Both
prints
feature
a
boat
setting
off
with
passenger
and
boatman
(or
woman
,
given
the
hair
length)
in the
foreground
, the
Ukimido
at
Katata
, on
Lake
Biwa
, in the
background
, and a
pine
branch
silhouetted
above
. This
print
uses
deep
blues
for
much
of the
print
,
giving
an
impression
of
midnight
, and with a
few
stars
reserved
in the
sky
.
