1966 Autumn Catalog

Produced a year after the 1965 autumn catalog, this print reflects the incremental refinements Hagiwara made to his printmaking process throughout the mid-1960s. By 1966 he had deepened his command of translucent ink layering, and catalog works from this period show increasingly nuanced gradations between color zones. The autumn designation suggests a warm-to-cool chromatic structure, with the characteristic bokashi gradations he achieved through controlled pigment density rather than traditional brush-dampened blending. Like its predecessor, this print would have circulated within the collector and gallery networks that supported the international sosaku-hanga movement, serving both as promotional material and as a collectible print in its own right.
