Untitled (kimura-yoshiharu)

An untitled Kimura Yoshiharu woodblock print — part of the body of work that established his reputation as one of Japan's leading contemporary printmakers. His prints combined the technical heritage of Japanese woodblock printing with the artistic sensibilities of a postwar generation that had absorbed both Japanese traditional aesthetics and the visual culture of the international modern art world. The untitled prints represent the full range of this synthesis in its most private, exploratory form.
