Kiyoshi Saito Signed Japanese Woodblock Geisha Print Maiko Kyoto 2
About the Item
A beautifully and serenely composed woodblock print by famed Japanese printmaker Kiyoshi Saito. Many consider Saito to be one of the most important, if not the most important, contemporary Japanese printmakers of the 20th century. This print, titled "Maiko (2)" is from a series on Japanese Kyoto Geishas that Saito created. The image depicting a seated Maiko (apprentice geisha from Kyoto) in profile, features strong, contrasting colors, beautiful wood grain, and a complex design - see how her pale face and long delicate neck stand out against the darker pallet of her black elegant kimono. Her obi accentuates the wood grain and is decorated with a three-petal flower crest at the bottom
The print is signed by Saito and stamped/sealed in red within the image.
Would be a great addition to any Japanese or Asian print collection or eye-catching stand-alone artwork in about any setting.
Saito's work has been exhibited extensively and can be found in galleries and museums throughout the world including:
Achenbach Foundation, Palace of the Legion of Honor, San Francisco
