{"title":"Abstract \u0026 Graphic (抽象・グラフィック)","description":"\u003cp\u003eAbstract printmaking has an important place in the development of modern Japanese art. Early sōsaku-hanga artists such as Onchi Kōshirō helped move the woodblock beyond traditional representation, using colour, shape, texture and the physical character of the printed surface as subjects in their own right. In the post-war period, Japanese printmakers pushed these ideas further, responding to international modernism while drawing on calligraphy, design, traditional materials and the particular possibilities of print.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis collection brings together several distinct approaches to abstraction and graphic form. Haku Maki transformed kanji and calligraphic shapes through deeply embossed surfaces and rich, restrained colour. Kumi Sugai developed a bold visual language of signs, circles and geometric forms, while Ay-O used the rainbow spectrum to turn familiar images into vivid experiments in colour. Akira Kurosaki combined precise woodblock technique with saturated colour and tightly constructed compositions that move between symbolism, surrealism and abstraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcross woodblock, silkscreen, lithography and mixed techniques, the works range from pure abstraction to images in which recognisable subjects are reduced to pattern, geometry and graphic form. Carved grain, embossed relief, repeated symbols and flat planes of colour all become part of the image itself, reflecting a broader strand of Japanese printmaking in which craft, experimentation and modern visual language remain closely connected.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"hideshi-yoshida-prisoner-to-the-n-th-power","title":"Hideshi Yoshida - 囚人のn乗 (Prisoner to the n-th power)","description":"\u003ch6\u003eContemporary Woodblock Print\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Prisoner to the n-th power” by Hideshi Yoshida features a striking, infinitely recursive design of a chained figure repeated to the n-th power - each fractal-like layer reaching out behind ever-deepening bars in a pattern that captivates and provokes new wonder with every viewing. 🎨🔗♾️ A prime example of Yoshida’s ability to blend storytelling, illusion and geometry into a single, thought-provoking image.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"365\" data-end=\"451\"\u003eYear \u0026amp; Edition: 2002 · Ed. of 11 (signed, editioned \u0026amp; dated in pencil to plate).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"454\" data-end=\"550\"\u003eMedium: Woodblock print carved on Shina Japanese plywood \u0026amp; printed on gampi \u0026amp; kōzo papers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"553\" data-end=\"637\"\u003eDimensions: Sheet H: 45.00 cm × W: 45.00 cm (Image H: 25.00 cm × W: 25.00 cm).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"640\" data-end=\"695\"\u003eCondition: Mint, direct from the artist’s studio.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eAbout the Artist\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHideshi Yoshida (b.

His works are held in major museum collections around the world. Karhu’s legacy lives on through his family and The Tolman Collection, his long-time representatives.

A beloved autumn fruit; Maki takes the persimmon (kaki 柿), to produce elegant, pure, hand embossed compositions. Adorning elements with urushi lacquer and printing against starkly contrasting black - occasionally white - backgrounds, Maki’s Persimmon pieces elicit a particular premium feel to his pieces. With evidence to suggest Maki book-ended the theme with exclusive prints produced in 1971 \u0026amp; 1981 - to include further refined black, textured, leathery\/velvety backgrounds - Maki’s Persimmon prints typically attract greater market values.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"371\" data-end=\"1499\"\u003eMedium: Embossed Woodblock.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"371\" data-end=\"1499\"\u003eDimensions: Sheet W: 47.00 cm × H: 31.50 cm; Image W: 43.00 cm × H: 29.75 cm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"371\" data-end=\"1499\"\u003eCondition: Lovely; image face unblemished aside from faint surface marks under bright light, with minor matte burn at the margin edge and light tape residue on verso.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"371\" data-end=\"1499\"\u003eNotes: A fabulous example of Haku Maki’s use of urushi lacquer in his Persimmon prints - bringing a shine to the embossed leaf elements. 👁️✨\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eAbout the Artist\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHaku Maki (1924-2000) was an influential Japanese printmaker known for merging traditional kanji and ancient Chinese seal scripts with abstract, modern compositions.
