The work of Keiji Shinohara (b. 1955), as exemplified in this highly sculptural landscape printthis is a inline citationupdates and personalizes the spirit of Ukiyo-e. Shinohara first studied the traditional woodblock technique of Ukiyo-e in his native Japan. Unlike Ukiyo-e artists of the past, Shinohara shepherds the creative process through from start to finish and has made each impression of this print unique through variant inking and printing. Shortly after attaining the status of master printer in 1981, Shinohara moved to the United States, where he continues to promote the art form through his own work, teaching, and collaborating with artists such as Sean Scully, Balthus, and Chuck Close.
