This is a woodblock print titled "Nikenchaya" by the contemporary woodblock print master, Kiyoshi Saito.
Inspired by the woodblock prints of Sotaro Yasui at the age of 29, he embarked on self-study in woodblock printmaking. Saito's original woodblock print technique, which incorporates Western modern forms into traditional Japanese expression, has garnered high acclaim both domestically and internationally, earning him the title of a cultural contributor.
His artwork is characterized by a strong composition and arrangement, impactful coloration with a monochromatic base, and a stunning portrayal of the wood grain and engraving beauty in the prints. It's truly remarkable.
