Description
A landscape subject in Henmi's sosaku-hanga woodblock technique — the composition likely depicting a specific rural or natural location observed and rendered with the personal directness that distinguished self-printed artist prints from commercial publication. Henmi's landscapes, whatever their subject, share a quality of individual encounter: the print as record of one artist's sustained attention to a particular view, rendered through the hands-on process of cutting, printing, and coloring the blocks himself.
