This [oban](/glossary/oban) woodblock print from Miki Suizan's oeuvre is catalogued under the British Museum's accession system. Suizan, who spent his career working in Kyoto, brought a refined Kansai sensibility to [shin-hanga](/glossary/shin-hanga) that set him apart from Tokyo-based contemporaries. The print exemplifies his meticulous attention to color registration and the layered [bokashi](/glossary/bokashi) gradations that required close collaboration between artist, carver, and printer. As a Kyoto artist, Suizan had direct access to the city's centuries-old tradition of woodblock craftsmanship, and his prints reflect that heritage in their technical precision. The oban format gave him generous space to develop the subtle tonal transitions that distinguish his best work from the bolder, more graphic output of the Tokyo shin-hanga publishers.
