Description
A sixth untitled work by Aoyama Masaharu (1893–1969). His long career — spanning the late Meiji, Taisho, and Showa periods — produced a body of sosaku-hanga prints that document both the development of his technical mastery and the evolution of his subject matter across a period of extraordinary transformation in Japanese society. His retirement from the Imperial Household Museum to devote himself full-time to printmaking was, in retrospect, a significant decision for Japanese printmaking: it brought the depth of his classical training fully into the creative printmaking movement.
