Item Description : This captivating oil painting titled "Snowy Day (View of Ikuchijima)" is an original work by Katsumasa Sasano (笹野勝将), a Japanese artist born in 1941 (Showa 16) on Innoshima, Hiroshima Prefecture. Executed in bold, impasto technique, the painting presents a powerful winter landscape of the Seto Inland Sea region. The scene captures the rooftops of a coastal village blanketed in snow, with fishing boats floating in calm waters and snow-covered mountains looming in the background. The heavily textured surface, achieved through thick brushwork, gives the painting a sense of depth and energy, evoking the chill and serenity of a snowy day in a coastal Japanese town. Signed "K. SASANO" in the lower right, this piece showcases Sasano’s ability to combine expressive abstraction with recognizable scenery. An excellent example of regional Japanese landscape art with a modern impressionistic flair.
