About the Item
A wonderfully composed and quite engaging woodblock print by renowned Japanese artist/printmaker Shiro Karamatsu (笠松 紫浪, 1898-1991) titled "Three-Headed Deity In Ashura Temple" featuring the Three-Headed Buddha statue located inside the Buddhist temple. An asura in Buddhism is a deity/demigod of the Kāmadhātu, one of the realms where a wandering soul may be reborn. They are described as having three heads with three faces each and either four or six arms.
The limited edition sōsaku-hanga woodblock print dates to 1959. It is signed, stamped/sealed, titled (in Japanese), dated, and numbered (191/200) by the artist.
Shiro Kasamatsu was a a key figure in the history of 20th-century Japanese printmaking. He lived and worked during the two major Japanese artistic print movements - shin-hanga (new prints) and sōsaku-hanga (creative prints). Today his work is celebrated for its blend of traditional Japanese aesthetics with modern artistic sensibilities.
