Description
"Portrait of Mr. Tsuruzo Ishii" is one of Onchi's personal-circle portraits — an individual not prominent in public cultural life but significant enough in Onchi's world to receive the full formal attention of his woodblock portraiture. His consistent practice of applying the same quality of observation to private individuals as to public figures reflects his democratic approach to human dignity: every face deserved the same quality of attention, whether or not it was culturally famous.
