Later he taught himself woodblock printmaking. He started his printmaking career by depicting star constellations and galaxies. In the early 1970s, he began to specialize in images of trees. The tree prints are intricately made using the technique of the traditional Japanese woodblock printmaking and are sometimes refined with silver or gold pigments.
