This listing is for a Japanese woodblock print by the noted artist Masaji Yoshida and is titled Novel Growth no. 2 double oban size print – see last image for dimensions. Sheet is approx 18″ x 22 1/2″. While the print is not framed it appears to have been stored casually as some creasing is evident. No tears, margins intact. The creases will even out over time. The Yoshida family of artists has represented Japan for almost a century. Masaji is one of the founders of the Sosaku Hanga movement. From the Lavenberg site. Many critics have commented on the atmosphere of disquiet and suffering that seems to lie just beneath the surface of Masaji’s prints. Masaji once said that he was seeking “serenity” in his work. Whatever the interpretation, it is fairly certain that his interest lay in exploring simple forms that evoked a sense of deeper appreciation for what was profound in human existence.
