1933 is a recognized master of Japanese woodblock printing in the post-war era. This particular print, # 59 of 200, captures the apex of his approach to vertical white birch trees interlaced with horizontal glimpses of blue river, with impressionistic blotches of green leaves and understory. Fujita hand-signed this 1984 print, # 59 of 200 in the series. The artwork exposed by the tasteful double-matte measures 14 3/4″ x 6 1/2″. The carefully understated gray frame measures 19 3/4″ x 14″. This beautiful, calming work of art is ready to hang on your wall and render years of pleasure and contemplation. As stated under “Condition, ” above, this print is in fine, nearly pristine condition; clean, bright colors and absolutely no signs of aging, darkening, or other issues that appear in competing offers. We’d like to find it a good home.

Fumio Fujita Signed Limited Edition (23/200) Banks Of Birch Forest Woodblock Print (1978). I have loved this print since I bought it. Fumio Fujita has been captivated by the birch forests of Japan, and this woodblock print is a strong example of his passion. This print is also beautifully framed in a custom gilded frame with custom matting and plexiglass. An introduction to the artist, and the art movement that he is most related to, for those who are unfamiliar with him. Sosaku Hanga – The sosaku hanga or creative print movement in Japan began in the early part of the twentieth century. Unlike the traditional collaborative woodblock printing process utilizing a separate artist, carver, and printer along with a publisher, the sosaku hanga movement emphasized artist involvement in designing, carving, and printing the blocks himself, as the sole creator of his work. The movement gained popularity following World War II, earning international acclaim and expanding subject matter to include abstraction. Today most contemporary Japanese print artists design, carve, and print their woodblocks themselves, continuing the vibrant creative tradition established with ukiyo-e. Sosaku hanga prints encompass a wide range of subjects and expressive artistic styles, and are a great choice for a collector interested in modern and contemporary prints. Fumio Fujita – One of Japan’s most well-known contemporary sosaku hanga artists, Fumio Fujita studied at the Musashino College of Fine Arts and began creating woodblock prints in 1963. His subjects are nature based, and he is best known for his many images of trees, especially birch trees – a signature Fujita image. He simplifies and reduces forms to their elements, bordering on abstract, with an emphasis on pattern and texture. Fujita’s prints are all pencil signed and numbered, limited editions. His works have been included in the prestigious Collage Women’s Association of Japan (CWAJ) exhibitions several times. Fujita’s works are becoming increasing collectable, especially some of his earlier designs. His lovely prints would make a wonderful addition to any modern woodblock collection.
