Munakata Shiko, born in 1903 in Aomori Prefecture, passed away in 1975. A representative printmaker of 20th-century Japan. The work "Mountain Village Landscape" is a Yamato-e painting on colored paper, measuring 27cm in height by 24cm in width. The condition of the work shows sun exposure and age. The frame measures 41cm in height by 38cm in width, with the frame also showing signs of age. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from the Munakata Shiko Authentication and Registration Committee. Yamato-e is a hand-painted work centered on ink, a term given by Munakata himself. The work constructs space through the brushstrokes themselves, with mountain masses treated with bold ink lines and gray surfaces, the middle ground densely arranged with black rooftops and trees, and the lower part of the painting featuring light vermilion houses interspersed with ultramarine and green. The work captures the overall impression and characteristics of the landscape, compressing the momentary impression of overlapping mountains, houses, and trees.
