"Untitled" is a [shin-hanga](/glossary/shin-hanga) print by Yamamura Toyonari, created during the Taisho and early Showa periods. This abstract work reflects the artist's exploration of form, color, and texture through the woodblock medium.
Yamamura Toyonari approaches abstraction through the unique constraints and possibilities of woodblock printing, where the grain of the wood, the pressure of the [baren](/glossary/baren), and the interaction of pigment and paper all contribute to the final image. His Art Deco-influenced designs brought a bold, cosmopolitan sensibility to the shin-hanga tradition.
This print represents Yamamura Toyonari's contribution to the shin-hanga tradition during the Taisho and early Showa periods.
