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.

Seiko Kawachi - Seiko Kawachi is considered one of the foremost woodblock print artists in Japan. While studying for his degree in oil painting at the Tama Art University, Kawachi began experimenting with many forms of printmaking, including silkscreen and lithograph. After winning the Grand Prix at the Japanese Print Association Exhibition in 1976, he has worked mainly in woodblocks. His work often combines woodblock printing with engraved blocks (intaglio), with swirling and repeated lines adding a distressed appearance to his images, often bordering on abstraction. Rarely seen in the market, his prints are a great choice for a collector of contemporary Japanese Art. His prints are in museum collections around the world, including the British Museum and the Art Institute of Chicago.
