Hashiguchi Goyo is famous for Beauty, but he also left three landscapes like this. The gradation in the sky and river water, and the lyrical tranquil composition remind us of landscapes of Utagawa Hiroshige. Especially, the depiction of trees is very similar to that in Hiroshige's artwork, "Gionsya in snow, Kyoto Meisho No Uchi". This seems to be an hommage dedicated to Hiroshige.
Good condition, colors and impression
Hashiguchi was born Hashiguchi Kiyoshi in Kagoshima Prefecture. His father Hashiguchi Kanemizu was a samurai and amateur painter in the Shijo style. His father hired a teacher in the Kano style of painting in 1899 when Kiyoshi was only ten. Kiyoshi took the name of Goyo while attending the Tokyo School of Fine Arts, from which he graduated best in his class in 1905. The name Goyo was chosen because of his fondness for the five needle pine in his father's garden.
