Item Description
This striking print was created by noted artist Hisashi Otsuka of Honolulu. The artwork is unframed, measures 25" x 17.5" and is 1865/4500. This fan-shaped, ukiyo-e style print depicts a determined ronin with swirling dress and close-fitting helmet. The print is mounted on a wonderful background mat with a linear, calligraphic-style pattern. This work evokes bygone times in Japan when masterless ronin made the best of their situation. The red splash contracts strongly with the black/white garments and draws the eye in this striking image.
Hisashi Otsuka's artwork is a powerful balance of ancient Eastern techniques and modern Western ideas. Like a concert musician with perfect pitch, he has perfect color memory and sense. Otsuka's time-honored poets and warriors, kabuki figures, ukiyo-e women, and elegant calligraphy are steeped in the classical past. Yet in color and composition, his work achieves a vigorous, contemporary context. Monumental in scope and meticulous in detail, it offers an aesthetic of heroic and subtle impact.
