Untitled (hodo-nishimura)

An untitled Nishimura Hodo woodblock print from his 1930s body of work. The print is likely a decorative subject — flower, bird, figure, or landscape — executed within the shin-hanga collaborative framework. Hodo's prints in Western collections were often acquired by museums and collectors during the period when interest in Japanese printmaking was at its interwar peak, his work representing the accessible, refined face of the shin-hanga movement.
