An Eye-opening Comment

A comment from Val, one of my Koinup buddy, on “Goodbye, Gion 5” was eye-opening: “The colors remind me of a Hiroshige print.”



I unwittingly imitated the image of “Kamedo Umeyashiki.” As Val pointed out, the colors as well as the composition of the picture are quite similar to those of Hiroshige’s masterpiece that inspired Vincent van Gogh.



Perhaps what I’m going after is the style of Ukiyoe paintings, which always fascinate me with their serene atmosphere.
