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","url":"https:\/\/www.kumoarts.com\/products\/gihachiro-okuyama-on-the-road-to-tarascon","provider":"Kumo Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
