Description
Midnight — Ichimokushu Vol. 6 is a print from the "Ichimokushu" (First Thursday Collection) — a series produced under the auspices of a print collectors' group that published limited-edition prints by sosaku-hanga artists. The "midnight" subject suggests a nocturnal composition in Yamaguchi's abstract style: the complete darkness of the deepest night, when human activity ceases and the world takes on a different quality of stillness. The sixth volume of this series indicates Yamaguchi participated in the collection across multiple issues.
