"Creation" is among Tajima's most ambitious conceptual titles, invoking genesis itself as the subject of abstract woodblock form. In the tradition of postwar Japanese artists influenced by Western abstraction while remaining grounded in Japanese materials and sensibility, Tajima here explores how form emerges from formlessness — how marks on washi accumulate into composition. The title aligns the act of printmaking with a cosmological act, a claim that reflects the ambition and philosophical seriousness of the sosaku-hanga movement.
