Modern | Sōsaku Hanga Woodblock Print
Hodaka Yoshida’s 1973 woodblock print “星座風景より–獅子座” (LANDSCAPE - LEO) radiates a fiery sunburst from its centre as a majestic lion’s profile emerges on the right. Beneath, reclining lion figures and sculptural reliefs mingle with a broken clock face and an undulating strata of colour - a homage to Leo’s regal strength and timeless spirit. 🦁🌞.
