This woodblock print bears the artist's own name as its title, suggesting it may be a self-referential work, a catalog identifier, or a piece where the usual descriptive title was lost or never assigned. Kusaka Kenji's practice encompasses a range of subjects from traditional Kyoto landmarks to abstract compositions, and without further identifying information, the print stands on its visual merits alone. The woodblock medium, consistent across Kusaka's body of work, produces images with the characteristic warmth of hand-rubbed pigment absorbed into handmade paper. The print represents one node in an oeuvre that collectively maps Kusaka's artistic concerns, even when individual works resist easy categorization through their titles.
