Description
This woodblock print by Aoyama Masaharu (1893–1969) is catalogued under the artist's name rather than a descriptive title, indicating a database record created before full title information was established. Aoyama — also known as Aoyama Seiji — was a sosaku-hanga printmaker born in Saitama Prefecture who studied traditional Japanese ink painting at the Tokyo School of Fine Arts and later worked at the Imperial Household Museum. His prints are distinguished by exceptional technical mastery in carving, printing, and design, with particular strength in bird subjects rendered in a style bridging traditional nihonga and modern creative printmaking.
