Description
An early nude — among his first explorations of the figure subject — rendered in color woodblock, the woman seated on a rock in an outdoor setting. Dating to around 1925, this print reflects the Western academic influences on the early sosaku-hanga movement, which absorbed figure drawing conventions from European printmaking alongside the native woodblock tradition.
