This is a refreshing depiction of a beautiful, vibrant green tree.
The blue sky has a glossy enamel finish.
The gold coloring around the tree branches creates the illusion of sunlight filtering through the trees.

One woodblock artist who focuses on trees is Hajime Namiki, and Kunio Kaneko's tree paintings are also impressive.

Kunio Kaneko (1949-)
Under the concept of "Neo Japan Art," he creates works that aim to blend tradition and modernity.
He uses traditional Japanese woodblock printing techniques (mokuhanga) and maintains the time-honored method of printing with a hand-rubbing tool called a "baren."
However, the motifs and colors he depicts go beyond classical and traditional ones, incorporating contemporary and modern colors, textures, and sensibilities.

The use of gold and silver foil adds contrast and splendor to the work.

The work combines the good old techniques of traditional Japanese woodblock printing with a modern feel.

As a result, he has many fans overseas. His works are sure to resonate with people overseas.

It also makes a great gift for a friend who loves Japanese art.

Usually, only 100 to 150 woodblock prints are rubbed.

This is a rare edition of 200 prints.
