| Artist Bio: |
Produced the series Seiyo Soka Zufu (A Picture Album of Western Plants and Flowers), a five-volume set of prints published by Unsodo, Kyoto. He was also selected to publish the Peony Series for the Imperial Exhibition: In 1917, as one of Japan's famous naturalist artists, Tanigami Konan, was chosen to produce a series of beautiful peony prints for the Teiten (Imperial Exhibition). Because of the importance of this auspicious occasion, all of the traditional Japanese works of art were to be produced to the highest standards. Konan designed and printed a lovely set of 20 peonies. These beautiful original woodblock prints were printed in an extra large format close to double-oban in size. Bold, bright, and beautiful, these Tanigami Konan prints are some of the finest floral designs ever printed in the woodblock print world. They are excellent quality, finely printed, and on thick handmade paper with natural uncut edges.
