Okuyama first translated it into woodblock in 1956 and then fully recarved the design in 1977, preserving the original’s bold Post-Impressionist energy while showcasing his own mastery of Japanese carving and colour registration. This print is part of Okuyama’s series of tributes to van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Cézanne, celebrating the blend of Western modernism and traditional Japanese printmaking. The result is a series of highly collectible works; pieces of a portfolio testament to Okuyama's mastery at capturing the fine details, fluid brushstrokes, and textures of these masters within the precise intricacy, registration, and colour block work of traditional Japanese woodblock printing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eAbout the Artist\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGihachiro Okuyama (1907-1981) moved seamlessly between sōsaku-hanga and shin-hanga, pairing self-carved monochrome impressions with vibrant collaborative colour prints. Trained by Kosaka Gajin and ukiyo-e master Ishii Kendō, he fused bold modern graphics with classical technique. After the war he founded the Japan Print Institute and his Matsudo studio; his own prints - and woodblock homages to Hiroshige and Van Gogh - now appear in major museum collections worldwide. \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/xm7kjz-qq.myshopify.com\/collections\/fumio-kitaoka\" title=\"北岡文雄 Fumio Kitaoka (1918-2007)\"\u003e[\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca title=\"奥山儀八郎 Gihachiro Okuyama (1907-1981)\" href=\"https:\/\/xm7kjz-qq.myshopify.com\/collections\/gihachiro-okuyama\"\u003e ← View All Works by Gihachiro Okuyama\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/xm7kjz-qq.myshopify.com\/collections\/fumio-kitaoka\" title=\"北岡文雄 Fumio Kitaoka (1918-2007)\"\u003e]\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kumo Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55018821714264,"sku":null,"price":340.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/6745\/8648\/files\/Gihachiro_Okuyama_-_Gogh_On_The_Road_To_Tarascon_Thmb.jpg?v=1749843497"},{"product_id":"koh-sekiguchi-white-clouds","title":"Koh Sekiguchi - 白い雲 (White Clouds)","description":"\u003carticle data-scroll-anchor=\"true\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-320\" dir=\"auto\" class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto py-5 [--thread-content-margin:--spacing(4)] @[37rem]:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(6)] @[72rem]:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(16)] px-(--thread-content-margin)\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:32rem] @[34rem]:[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @[64rem]:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto flex max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 text-base gap-4 md:gap-5 lg:gap-6 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"group\/conversation-turn relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"relative flex-col gap-1 md:gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col grow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-message-model-slug=\"o4-mini-high\" class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal [.text-message+\u0026amp;]:mt-5\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-id=\"cb8feb15-3945-455f-a668-594c5f1c5ed7\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[3px]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full break-words light\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"611\" data-end=\"623\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cspan\u003eModern | Sōsaku Hanga Silkscreen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eKoh Sekiguchi’s \u003cem data-start=\"170\" data-end=\"190\"\u003e白い雲 (White Clouds)\u003c\/em\u003e presents an autumn view of Mount Akagi, its hills rising under a blue crescent sky.

The scene centres on characters crowded around the counter, some standing in work attire, others seated and leaning in as conversations chat. Regulars hold beers and glasses mid-sentence, another turns sideways to listen, while a patron focuses on food in front of him. Behind the counter, the kitchen shares the same tight space - pots on the stove, bowls close at hand, and staff cooking and serving within arm’s reach of the customers. Handwritten signs and notices dot the wall above, half-read and well-worn, reinforcing the sense of a place used daily.

Working in the traditional ukiyo-e method with layered blocks, she builds lively scenes from direct observation rather than photographs. Her focus on ordinary gatherings reflects a belief that these small, shared pleasures matter deeply, especially in a world where daily life can change overnight. Regularly selected for Japan Print Association exhibitions and a full member since 2024, she has shown in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, with further selections by CWAJ. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003ca title=\"花原淳子 Junko Hanahara (1958-Present)\" href=\"https:\/\/xm7kjz-qq.myshopify.com\/collections\/junko-hanahara\"\u003e\u003cem style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e[ ← View All Works by Junko Hanahara]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kumo Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56447294112088,"sku":null,"price":320.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/6745\/8648\/files\/JunkoHanahara-WhereTheRegularsGatherThmb.jpg?v=1766490694"},{"product_id":"junko-hanahara-on-sunny-days","title":"Junko Hanahara - 晴れた日には (On Sunny Days…)","description":"\u003carticle class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full\" dir=\"auto\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-320\" data-scroll-anchor=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto py-5 [--thread-content-margin:--spacing(4)] @[37rem]:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(6)] @[72rem]:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(16)] px-(--thread-content-margin)\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:32rem] @[34rem]:[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @[64rem]:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto flex max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 text-base gap-4 md:gap-5 lg:gap-6 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"group\/conversation-turn relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"relative flex-col gap-1 md:gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col grow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"cb8feb15-3945-455f-a668-594c5f1c5ed7\" dir=\"auto\" class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal [.text-message+\u0026amp;]:mt-5\" data-message-model-slug=\"o4-mini-high\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[3px]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full break-words light\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"list-style-type: none;\" data-end=\"623\" data-start=\"611\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cspan\u003eContemporary Woodblock Print\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA fabulous print by Junko Hanahara titled 晴れた日には (On Sunny Days…) 🍺☀️. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eA sunlit street-side izakaya opens directly onto the pavement, drawing drinkers in from outside.

A man raises a drink in greeting, another leans in mid-laugh, while a woman pauses with her hand to her mouth, caught in a moment of easy conversation. Inside the stall, more characters crowd around wooden tables, framed shelves lined with bottles \u0026amp; the kitchen behind.

Working in the traditional ukiyo-e method with layered blocks, she builds lively scenes from direct observation rather than photographs. Her focus on ordinary gatherings reflects a belief that these small, shared pleasures matter deeply, especially in a world where daily life can change overnight. Regularly selected for Japan Print Association exhibitions and a full member since 2024, she has shown in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, with further selections by CWAJ. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/xm7kjz-qq.myshopify.com\/collections\/junko-hanahara\" title=\"花原淳子 Junko Hanahara (1958-Present)\"\u003e\u003cem style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e[ ← View All Works by Junko Hanahara]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kumo Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56447852937560,"sku":null,"price":440.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/6745\/8648\/files\/JunkoHanahara-OnSunnyDaysThmb.jpg?v=1766503897"},{"product_id":"haku-maki-collection-874","title":"Haku Maki - Collection - 874","description":"\u003ch6 data-end=\"397\" data-start=\"0\"\u003eModern | Sōsaku Hanga Woodblock Print\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eHaku Maki’s 1987 embossed woodblock print Collection-874 features a striking black chawan adorned with a beautiful golden circular ensō motif, rendered in relief against a white background.

He became the first foreign-born wrestler to win a top-division yūshō, claiming the championship in 1972, and rose to the rank of Sekiwake. Exceptionally popular in Japan, Takamiyama helped broaden the sport’s international profile and paved the way for later overseas rikishi such as Konishiki, Akebono, and Musashimaru. After retirement, he remained active in sumo as coach of Azumazeki-beya (東関部屋).\u003cem style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eAbout the Artist\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBorn in Hokkaidō in 1946, Daimon Kinoshita is Japan’s foremost contemporary artist of sumo nishiki-e (錦絵). Since 1985 he has worked closely with the Japan Sumo Association, using authentic Edo-period ukiyo-e techniques and the traditional hanmoto system of artist, carver, and printer. His woodblock prints bring Yokozuna, Ōzeki, and rikishi to life in bold ceremonial portraits, often depicting the dohyō-iri (土俵入り) ring-entrance with mica (kirazuri) details that echo Edo traditions. Sold at the Kokugikan arena and presented to visiting dignitaries, Kinoshita’s works combine beauty, craft, and cultural significance, keeping the art of nishiki-e alive in the modern age. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003ca title=\"木下大門 Daimon Kinoshita (1946-Present)\" href=\"https:\/\/xm7kjz-qq.myshopify.com\/collections\/daimon-kinoshita\"\u003e\u003cem style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e[ ← View All Works by Daimon Kinoshita]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kumo Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57311895290200,"sku":null,"price":180.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/6745\/8648\/files\/DaimonKinoshita-TakamiyamaDaigoroThmb.jpg?v=1779091339"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.kumoarts.com\/collections\/latest.oembed","provider":"Kumo Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
