Gekko Zuihitsu Series #4
Artist: Ogata Gekko
Format: Oban tate-e : 13.75" x 9.5" approx
Subject: From Gekko's fine series Gekko Zuihitsu. Gekko worked as a painter, printmaker and decorator of pottery and lacquerware. His favorite subjects were genre scenes from everday's life. During and after the Sino-Japanese war he produced a considerable number of war prints. Gekko won several prizes at exhibitions. His print style reminds more of paintings than of traditional woodblocks. Gekko's designs required great skill by the carvers and printers.
