Today, we're doing his art because-- it's gorgeous, that's why. Bamboo Wood, 1939. (Full outdoor view of a scene from a Japanese woodblock print. A dense grove of tall bamboo stalks fills the foreground and middle ground, varying in shades of teal-green. The light is a golden yellow, suggesting dawn or dusk. Light teal hills and a body of water are visible in the background. Patches of green foliage rest on the hills above the water.A beige fowl of some sort is on the ground, among other small birds.)
