	Viewing Japanese Prints: Woodgrain Patterns
		Shima's designs are notable for their use of texture and form, and especially for her striking use of various woodgrain patterns within a single image.
		Shima used oil-based inks with a granular texture in the deep fl areas, and she was clearly interested in exploring the effects of light and shadow in a semi-realistic manner; however, the source of light shifts and casts shadows from different directions within the composition.
		The somber palette is punctuated by the vivid yellow used for the lemons, with their forms striated by the grain patterns from the woodblock.
