Original color woodblock print, dated 1976. Signed in pencil lower right. Titled in pencil lower center. Numbered 19/100 lower left. Presented in matching frame as found. Visible image approximately 7.5″ × 7.5″ and frame is 7.75. Colors remain vibrant and display beautifully. This print came from a group of four Clifton Karhu woodblocks. I have left the piece in its original frame and have not attempted to remove it or perform any cleaning or restoration. There is some toning/discoloration visible around portions of the margins beneath the glass, as well as wear to the frame consistent with age. The print is being offered framed and exactly as found.

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.
