Description
An untitled woodblock print by Ishiwata Koitsu whose subject and provenance records have not been preserved. The print's existence testifies to the breadth of his production during the active years of the shin-hanga movement, when printmakers working within the collaborative publisher-carver-printer system produced large numbers of compositions for domestic and international markets. Each untitled work represents a specific artistic decision — a subject chosen, a composition developed, a palette selected — whose particulars are now accessible only through the print itself.
