A beautifully and darkly 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, which is titled "Toriemoto Kyoko (D)" features strong colors, bold wood grain, and an intricate balanced design. The print is signed in white ink and stamped/sealed in red within the image, titled, dated (1968), and numbered (15/100) in pencil by the artist in the lower margin. A fairly rare and scarce work.
