About the Item

Here is a woodcut by Japanese artist Umetaro Azechi (1902-1999). This striking image is pencil signed lower right and dated 64 lower left. Although unexamined out of the frame, the print appears to be in excellent condition. It was beautifully framed by Vern Carver, Minneapolis with a linen mat approximately 30 years ago. The title of the print and edition is unknown, but this image is one of Azechi's most stunning. The frame measures 18.75" high, 15.25" wide and .88" deep. Sight size is 11.25" high and 8..13" wide. From Wikipedia: Azechi was born on December 28, 1902, to a poor farming family in what is now Uwajima, Ehime. He enrolled in an art correspondence course where he would send his work to Tokyo for critique. In 1920 he had the opportunity to move there, but returned home to Shikoku after the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake. He moved back to Tokyo in 1925, where he worked for a printing company. Azechi's prints were noticed by Unichi Hiratsuka, who took him under his wing. He belonged to the Japan Print Association and the Kokugakai Arts Association. After his works were shown in some of their exhibitions, he quit his job and became a freelance artist. During this time, he was heavily influenced by Maegawa Sempan and Kōshirō Onchi. During World War II, Azechi was sent to Manchuria. When he returned to Japan, he also immediately returned to making art. Azechi's work was shown at the São Paulo Art Biennial in 1953. It was also shown at the Lugano International Print Biennial in 1956. Azechi died on April 12, 1999. The Umetaro Azechi memorial museum opened in Uwajima in 2003.
