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.

Kato Daido - Born in the Azumino area of Shinsu in Nagano Prefecture, Kato Daido uses the beautiful mountain scenery of his hometown as his subject. His prints recall the majestic beauty of the area as well as the simple pleasures of children playing in the snow and enoying the season. Many of his images have a simple, childlike quality capturing the joy of winter in Japan. His charming designs are a nice choice for display.
