Sosaku Hanga Prints by Tasaburo Takahashi - Interesting design from a series of small sosaku prints by Tasaburo Takahashi, dating from the 1930s and 1940s. 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. These modern images feature seasonal subjects rendered with lively calligraphic line work and expressive color. While Takahashi also did traditional shin-hanga designs for publishers like Kyoto Hanga-in, his sosaku hanga prints are much less often seen. A nice choice to collect or display, either singly or in groups.
