SAKURA ver ao 青（あお）｜Tanaka Yoshikazu 田中喜一（たなかよしかず）

This woodcut print titled “SAKURA ver青” focuses on the transformation of trees and captures their various expressions.
The artist creates his works with an intention to resonate with Bach’s chorales and Vivaldi’s string concertos, reflecting themes of divine revelation and guidance from nature.
This work expresses cherry blossoms in blue, which was the color most favored by Yoshikazu Tanaka.
A large weeping cherry tree emerges in the pitch-black darkness.
The finely detailed branches suggest a full bloom without directly depicting the blossoms, revealing the distinctive world of Yoshikazu Tanaka.
The print is hand signed in pencil and numbered 2/20.
