Two Japanese woodblocks by Gihachiro Okuyama signed in the lower right. Both images depict water scenes with canoes and boats. Okuyama's technique of monochromatic woodblock printing, only using black ink, is the earliest type of Japanese woodblock printing and dates all the way back to the Nara period (710-794). A lovely pair, set in matching custom mats and frames under glass. Gihachiro Okuyama studied art under Kasaka Gajin and was active in both the Sosaka Hanga and Shin Hanga movements. Okuyama established the Japan Print Institute (Nihon Hanga Kenkyusho) in 1946 and worked as a woodblock artist for the rest of his life.
Overall: 23 1/2 x 14 in.
