Japanese Woodblock Print in Benin Shrine
Copper-toned light before dusk washes over a Japanese woodblock print mounted on textured handmade washi paper. The print hangs centered within a shrine structure in Benin City, flanked by rows of traditional lanterns that cast long, sharp shadows across the floor. Low-hanging wet season clouds diffuse the fading sunlight, creating a heavy, saturated glow that highlights the grain of the paper and the ink lines of the artwork. The symmetrical arrangement of the lanterns frames the print perfectly, drawing the eye to the intricate details of the image. Shadows stretch across the ground, showing the depth of the narrow corridor. The wet season air leaves a sheen on the lantern surfaces, reflecting the copper light back onto the washi.
