Description
A fourth untitled work from Asada Benji, its subject unknown but its authorship secured by provenance and signature. His undocumented prints are a reminder that the full scope of a shin-hanga artist's output — including works produced for private commission, local publishers, or small-edition exchange — is rarely captured in institutional records. This print belongs to the substantial body of his work that circulated outside the major catalog systems of postwar Japanese printmaking.
