From The Collector

The first image is courtesty of Verne Gallery, where the piece was purchased from.

This was the very first woodblock print I collected. Many aspects drew me to this print: the tranquility, the beauty, memories I had from hiking in Colorado toting a backpack, getting lost in my thoughts and admiring the world around me.

We went to Japan in September/October 2024, and when we were looking for places to visit, Nikko popped into my head. I didn't know much about the region, but as I researched, it became a must-see stop. Nikko is a quiet place, although a popular destination given the UNESCO World Heritage temples and shrines located here. The Shinkyo Bridge, another site depicted in many works, is also located here.
