This is a mysterious woodblock print that mixes three different print styles on a single board. The resulting expression is completely natural and relaxed, despite the fact that the work is backed by such solid technique and expressive power. The artist is very optimistic, saying, “I will not take a stance. It is somewhat like the ultimate art of martial arts. Please let your imagination be comfortably stirred in the artist’s hands.
