- Seiryu. Shimanto (Clear Streem, Shimanto River) -

The breathtaking woodblock print 'Seiryu. Shimanto' (Clear Stream, Shimanto River) by Seiji Sano beautifully captures the serene beauty of the Shimanto River in Kochi Prefecture. The sparkling water surface, illuminated by warm sunlight, is depicted with stunning detail. The addition of a small boat enhances the tranquil and peaceful atmosphere of the scene. As someone with a deep appreciation for the beauty of Japanese rivers, I hold the Shimanto River close to my heart. Known as the last clear river in Japan, the Shimanto River flows gently through the charming town of Nakamura. Here, fishermen continue to use traditional methods, passing down their cultural heritage to future generations. This print beautifully reflects the nature of this cherished river.
