Toru Mabuchi was a fine technician and could do elaborate printing using thirty to fifty printing stages. He did not want to use only the traditional method. Since he had been interested in the Byzantine mosaics and the pointillist paintings of Seurat, he developed a printing technique by using small pieces of wood pasted on print blocks like mosaic stones.

Dated 1965.

# Description: Great original print from the mid 20th century signed on upper right corner. I believe it is a woodblock, but I'm not certain of the print method. The signature looks like "Yabuchi" but I can't tell for sure. It is dated on the bottom 1965 and titled in Japanese "Yuzu and Persimmon". Edition 68/100.
