Carrying the artist's own name as its title, this woodblock print may serve as a signature piece, an artist's proof, or a work cataloged by maker rather than subject. Saito Kaoru's prints span figure studies, still-life compositions, and atmospheric scenes, all executed with a sensitivity to the woodblock medium's capacity for both crisp line and soft tonal transition. This particular print embodies the artist's established visual language, whatever its specific imagery. The woodblock technique requires advance planning of every color layer and carved element, and the finished print represents the successful execution of decisions made before the first cut into the block's surface.
