Description
A woodblock print bearing the artist's own name as its title, suggesting this may be a self-referential work, a sample piece used for publisher catalogs, or an artwork whose original descriptive title has been lost to incomplete cataloging records. Nakazawa, active during the early twentieth century as a shin-hanga printmaker, produced works that were distributed through commercial publishers who sometimes maintained inconsistent records. The print itself would reflect his established style: refined color work, careful compositional balance, and the technical polish that resulted from the collaborative shin-hanga system where specialized carvers and printers executed the artist's design under editorial supervision.
