Untitled (hiyoshi-mamoru)

A thirty-first untitled work by Hiyoshi Mamoru. The quantity of untitled works in his catalogued output relative to titled works reflects a common pattern in Showa-era printmaking: artists who produced consistently across their careers often had significant portions of their output pass through secondary markets without full documentation, the titles and contextual information being lost in the process of sale and resale. Systematic archival research in period publications and exhibition records would likely recover many of these titles.
