Untitled (hiyoshi-mamoru)

A thirty-second untitled print by Hiyoshi Mamoru. His social-documentary orientation — the focus on communities engaged in shared activities, traditional crafts being practiced, everyday scenes of market and farmland — makes his work valuable to historians of Japanese and Korean social history as well as to collectors and students of printmaking. These prints offer evidence about mid-Showa social life that complements written and photographic records.
