Description
A woodblock print by Gen Yamaguchi from the collection of Robyn Buntin of Honolulu, a gallery that has specialized in Asian and Pacific art for decades. Yamaguchi's presence in this Hawaiian collection reflects the broad collector network that supported Japanese printmakers in the postwar decades, when American interest in contemporary Japanese art was especially strong in Pacific-facing cities. The Robyn Buntin gallery played a significant role in introducing American collectors to sosaku hanga and other modern Japanese print movements, building bridges between Tokyo studios and Honolulu living rooms through the universal language of finely crafted printed images.
