A seventh untitled print by Hiyoshi Mamoru. The scale of his untitled output — thirty-eight works in this database catalogued as "Untitled (hiyoshi-mamoru)" — reflects both the breadth of his production and the incompleteness of the archival record for his work. Many Showa-era printmakers of his type — neither sufficiently celebrated to attract major scholarly attention during their lifetimes nor obscure enough to be completely forgotten — occupy this uncertain archival position, their works preserved but not fully documented.
Untitled (hiyoshi-mamoru) was created by Hiyoshi Mamoru (日吉護).
Untitled (hiyoshi-mamoru) depicts figures, daily life, and abstract.
