A fourteenth untitled print by Hiyoshi Mamoru. Among Showa-era printmakers who worked in the social-documentary mode, Hiyoshi Mamoru is notable for his interest in subjects outside the more commonly treated Japanese tourist landscape: rather than famous temples and scenic mountains, his subjects are the anonymous workers and communities whose labor and traditional practices constituted the actual texture of mid-century Japanese life. This populist orientation gives his work a distinctive social character.
