An untitled [sosaku-hanga](/glossary/sosaku-hanga) woodblock from Henmi's body of work, likely a landscape or nature subject. His reputation rested on a combination of technical accomplishment — the self-printed woodblock requiring mastery of multiple craft skills — and lyric sensibility, the influence of his poetry practice evident in his preference for subjects that captured a specific quality of light, atmosphere, or moment over narrative or anecdotal content.
