Unread- Owl

An owl rendered in Kimura's graphic woodblock style — this version potentially identified through a catalog source as "unread," suggesting an owl whose catalog entry was not fully processed. Kimura's multiple owl subjects explored different aspects of the bird's distinctive character: its nocturnal lifestyle, its silent flight, its forward-facing gaze, its association with wisdom and mystery. Each owl composition found a different graphic solution for representing the same essential subject.
