"Victor Van Gogh" is among the most remarkable of Okuyama's prints — a Japanese sosaku-hanga artist explicitly engaging with the Dutch Post-Impressionist master who was himself profoundly influenced by Japanese woodblock prints. The circular exchange between Van Gogh's adoption of Japanese aesthetic principles and a Japanese printmaker's homage to Van Gogh reflects the long cross-cultural dialogue between Japanese and Western art that runs through the entire sosaku-hanga movement. The specific subject is likely Van Gogh's famous "Prisoners' Round" or one of his other compositions, rendered in Okuyama's woodblock medium.
