This rotation is made up of 10 woodblock prints owned by the IMA and created by Tajima Hiroyuki (1911-1984), an important Sosaku hanga (creative print movement) artist. His method includes the use of shellac, torn and crumpled papers, dyes and other materials in conjunction with wood blocks to create low reliefs and complex surface textures. A notable feature of his work is his subtle color harmonies at times combined with strikingly contrasting colors to create a luminescent glow to his works. The works are graphically intriguing and also quite organic in quality. The results are works on paper with great depth and quiet beauty.
