Honestly unsure whether or not this is a Woodblock print, has obvious indentations in the paper that indicate that it is (pictured) but I have no experience with woodblock art and can not verify, also has a seal signature on the reverse indicating it’s legit but I could find no information on it. Paper and the sticker marked japan both appear to have some age on them indicating it’s vintage. The image in the print is from a Japanese buddhist monastery.

His work was exhibited in the Vatican, MoMa and the British Museum, among others. His prints hung in the White House during the Johnson administration. Watanabe was orphaned as a young boy in Tokyo and taken in by a Christian woman. The subject matter of Watanabe’s prints is exclusively the gospel rendered in the mingei (folk art) approach. Influenced by Buddhist figure prints, Watanabe placed biblical subjects in a Japanese context. Watanabe uses kozo paper (from mulberry tree) and momigami (kneaded paper). The momigami paper was crumpled by hand, squeezed and wrinkled to give a rough quality to the prints. The katazome method uses traditional organic and mineral pigments in a medium of soybeen milk. The protein in the milk bound the colors to the papers surface. The use of natural materials is one of the characteristics of mingei (folk art). Watanabe once remarked that he preferred that his prints hang in the ordinary places of life: “I would most like to see them [his prints] hanging where people ordinarily gather, because Jesus brought the gospel for the people”. Such is the mingei philosophy of art for the people and by the people. This piece features the Canaanite woman and Jesus, as he sends healing for her daughter. It is in excellent condition with creasing consistent with artistic method and no tears. It is a limited edition print: #171 of 210. It is signed by the artist.
