Viewed from aboard the yacht, mast, rigging and sail cut sharply through the narrow composition, while the sea deepens from pale to rich blue below. A tiny white sail appears on the distant horizon. Printed almost entirely in shades of blue, the work recalls the Japanese tradition of aizuri-e — blue woodblock prints - while translating it into a contemporary maritime image. Perfect as a small print or art bookmark. ⛵🔵\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYear: 2026 (signed \u0026amp; dated in pencil).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedium: Woodblock.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: H: 14.50 cm × W: 5.50 cm.

Direct from the artist’s studio.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotes: The restricted blue palette recalls aizuri-e (藍摺絵), Japanese woodblock prints produced entirely or predominantly in shades of blue. The style became particularly important in the early nineteenth century with the growing use of Prussian blue, famously appearing in Hokusai’s Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji. Machowski brings that tradition into a modern maritime subject, using layers of blue to separate sail, deck, sea and distant horizon within the exceptionally narrow senjafuda format. *Delivered in presentation slip.\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\u003eJacek Machowski (b. 1983) is a Polish printmaker and educator who has become an important European voice in contemporary mokuhanga (木版画). Trained at the University of Rzeszów, Japanese water-based woodblock is central to his practice, combining traditional hand-printing with techniques such as bokashi gradation, karazuri embossing and kirazuri mica printing. In 2026, he completed a doctorate devoted to adapting mokuhanga to Polish materials and conditions, and his work has appeared in more than one hundred exhibitions in Poland and abroad, including major international exhibitions in Nara and Echizen. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.kumoarts.com\/collections\/jacek-machowski\"\u003e[ ← View All Works by Jacek Machowski]\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kumo Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59077226070360,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/6745\/8648\/files\/JacekMachowski-SailboatThmb.jpg?v=1794257765","url":"https:\/\/www.kumoarts.com\/products\/jacek-machowski-sailboat","provider":"Kumo Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
