Volume 10 - Masterpiece Selection 2

This print appears as a selected reproduction in a curated anthology volume, likely a later compilation drawing from Domoto's broader output across painting, print, and decorative arts. Such masterpiece selection series were common in mid-twentieth-century Japan as a means of disseminating the work of major nihonga figures to collectors and institutions beyond gallery contexts. Without access to the specific album, the subject matter cannot be determined from the title alone. The inclusion of a Domoto print in such a compilation reflects his stature as a leading Kyoto-school artist whose woodblock work, though a small portion of his output, was recognized as significant. The print likely reproduces a composition also known in another medium, with the woodblock translation adapting Domoto's brushwork and ink tonalities to the carved block and washi substrate.
