Hajime Namiki – Tree scene 66

Original woodblock print, hand-signed and numbered 114/200 by the artist. First published in 1996.

Image size (excluding margins): 34.9 * 52.2 cm (13.7 * 20.6 in).

The print has a very big fold through the image, leading from the middle left to the middle top. There are other wrinkles in the margins, but outside of the image. On the back a partially removed note in pencil is still somewhat visible in the margin.

The pictures shown here are from the print itself.

Hajime Namiki (b. 1947) is a modern Japanese woodblock artist. Originally trained as a sculptor, he transitioned to woodblock printing in the late 1970s. He limits himself to a small number of themes, and within those he experiments and varies a tremendous amount. Among these themes, are trees scenes (varying from dogwood to pine trees), dragons and cherry blossoms.
