Title: Spring Table More: Hand signed. Limited edition. Signature: "Toru Mabuchi" is signed in white pencil on lower left. Dated: 1964. Technique: Woodblock print Numbered: 39/100 Description "Shuntaku" (Spring Table). Semi-abstract depiction of colorful tulips, poppy, daffodil, and fruits placed on a stylized table. Toru Mabuchi was a fine technician who could do elaborate printings using thirty to fifty printing stages, but 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.
