For a long time, we have admired
and collected works from Asia. We are pleased to offer
this collection of Sosaku Hanga prints from Kunio Kaneko.
Kaneko (b. 1949) studied under
Joichi Hoshi and Sasajima Kihei at the Musashino
University of Fine Arts. A member of the Japan Print
Association, Kaneko often uses silver or gold leaf in
his woodblock prints, creating a shimmering quality and
sense of depth that can only be appreciated in person.
His stunning and intricate prints depicting traditional
Japanese subjects have been featured at art shows from
France to New York, and continues to have exhibitions in
Tokyo and other Japanese cities. The woodblocks offered
by Panteek, pressed by traditional Japanese Baren,
feature lush tree scenes which blend classic design
traditions with a more modern approach to color.
Each woodblock is hand signed,
dated, titled and numbered and published in limited
editions. Please see item title for number,
year and size. All are in pristine condition, very delicate, printed on a stunning silver
or gold background which the photographs cannot do justice to.
