Description
This woodblock print carries a variant romanization of the artist's name as its title, suggesting it may serve as a representative work, an artist's proof, or a print identified primarily by authorship rather than subject in collection records. Nagase Yoshio was a mid-twentieth-century Japanese printmaker whose work ranged from domestic figure studies to international travel scenes, reflecting the expanded horizons available to Japanese artists in the postwar era. The print embodies Nagase's technical command of the woodblock process, where each color requires a separately carved block printed in careful registration to build the final image.
