Art is a journey into the most unknown thing of all - oneself. Nobody knows his own frontiers… I don’t think I’d ever want to take a road if I knew where it led.

Shadow of the Mountain
by Shiro Kasamatsu 1898-1992      [+]

“Yamakage” (Shadow of the Mountain). Dark mountain shadow starts covering the part of the golden forest in a fine autumn afternoon. Shiro’s rare sosaku-hanga style print which he carved and printed by himself. He had never commercially promoted these prints. But now, they are among the most attractive and sought after Shin-hanga, Sosaku-hanga prints.
