Title: Habataki (???? – “Wings Spread / Taking Flight”) Artist: Akiyama Iwao Technique: Woodblock print (mokuhanga) on Japanese washi paper Edition number: Written in pencil lower left – exact notation unclear, appears to read “156P” or similar (please see photos) Artist’s signature: Pencil-signed lower right (Iwao Akiyama) Image size: approx. 40 × 44.5 cm (15.7″ × 17.5″) Sheet size: approx. 47.3 × 63.3 cm (18.6″ × 24.9″) Condition: Good vintage condition; some light age-related toning/foxing to verso of sheet, image area clean and strong. The Work: This commanding print captures a crow in extreme close-up – its fierce eye, curved beak, and powerful talons filling the entire composition. The image is rendered in bold, near-monochromatic contrasts of deep black and textured grey, with the raw grain of the woodblock visible throughout, adding an almost primordial energy. The composition is strikingly modern, almost abstract in its tight cropping, yet unmistakably rooted in the Japanese tradition of bird-and-nature art (kacho-ga). About Akiyama Iwao: Born in 1921 in Niigata Prefecture, Akiyama Iwao was one of the leading figures of the post-war Japanese woodblock print movement (sosaku hanga). His works – particularly his powerful bird subjects – have been exhibited and collected internationally, and are held in museum collections worldwide. He received numerous prestigious awards throughout his career and was widely recognized for bringing new expressive power to the traditional Japanese woodblock medium. Image area: clean, strong impression. Sheet verso: light age toning and minor foxing spots, consistent with age. No tears, no significant damage to image. Unframed – sheet only. A rare opportunity to acquire a large, signed, numbered original print by this major Japanese artist at an accessible price point. If you are purchasing more than one item.

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.

Gallery Art at Wholesale Prices. Over 30 Years of Fine Art Experience. All Artwork Guaranteed Authentic. We acquired this unique piece from the Estate of artist Patricia Tool. This piece is pencil-signed by Yoshida in the lower right, and dated 1962. His stamp is in the lower left of the print and the number 2 is written in the lower left margin. T is pictured in a vintage frame under glass, but the older mat has caused a mat burn around the margins so we have removed it to avoid further degradation. Frame is too damaged to include. Condition : Good – Image is very good, but mark from mat around edges. Very small tear in upper right corner. Measurements : Image is approx 12 3/4″ x 4 3/4″. About the Artist : Toshi Yoshida was an artist of great breadth and vision. Though known primarily for his woodblock prints, he was also a remarkable painter and illustrator. His artistic style cannot be easily summarized, because he was constantly innovating and pushing the boundaries of the woodblock medium. His work ranges from realistic landscapes to imaginative abstract designs to detailed portraits of animals in their environments. Toshi was part of the second generation of the Yoshida family to work in the woodblock medium. Both his father, Hiroshi Yoshida, and mother, Fujio Yoshida, were artists and printmakers. Toshi first studied the techniques of woodblock printing in his father’s studio, and the subject matter of his earlier prints is reminiscent of Hiroshi’s work. However, there were personality and stylistic differences between Toshi and his father, and this comes through in their artwork. Compared to the misty grandeur of Hiroshi’s perfectly composed prints, Toshi’s early landscapes are more down-to-earth and straightforward. Toshi was masterful at depicting the charm of ordinary Japanese life, particularly in prints like. To name just a few. Occasionally he depicted famous landmarks, but his prints tend to focus on the human element rather than the monumental. Bradley Fine Art Gallery and Our Policies.
