Shiko Munakata – Mijusuke's Fence ( 美寿伎の柵 ) - 1969
Signed woodblock print bij Shiko Munakata ( 1903-1975 )
Condition : Good used conditon
Born in Aomori prefecture, Shiko Munakata is a woodblock print artist best known for his black and white prints and his expressive, sketch-like lines.
He belonged to both Kokugakai (1932-1953) and Nihon Hanga Kyokai (1932-1938), and contributed to many Sosaku Hanga publications. Around 1936, he garnered the support of Soetsu Yamagai and other leaders of the folk art movement.
Munakata’s work began to heavily feature Buddhist imagery the following year. During the bombing of Tokyo in 1945, he escaped to Toyama prefecture.
He continued printmaking and received first prize in international exhibitions held in Lugano (1952), Sao Paulo (1955) and Venice (1956). In 1962, he received the rank of “Hogan” from Nisseki Temple in Toyama prefecture.
Munakata’s accolades continued through the end of the decade, including the Medal of Honor (1963), the Asahi Shimbun culture prize (1965), and the Order of Cultural Merit (1970).
