An eleventh untitled work by Hiyoshi Mamoru. His prints documenting traditional Japanese rural life — the farming communities caught in sudden rain, the craftspeople at ancient occupations, the seasonal agricultural rhythms — acquire increasing historical significance as the distance from the mid-Showa period grows and the world they document becomes more remote from contemporary Japanese experience. Each print is both an aesthetic object and a historical record.
