Title
Gashu Fukami (深水賀秀) “Dandelion (たんぽぽ)” – Original Woodblock Print, Signed, Limited Edition
Item Description
This charming woodblock print titled “Dandelion (たんぽぽ)” by Japanese artist Gashu Fukami (深水賀秀) beautifully captures the quiet poetry of nature. The composition features a blooming dandelion alongside its delicate seed head, rendered in Fukami’s signature style with bold outlines and richly layered colors. The warm orange background enhances the organic forms, creating a harmonious balance between vibrancy and calm.

His use of strong contours and textured color layering gives the piece both depth and a tactile warmth unique to handmade prints. The subject matter—simple, familiar, and nostalgic—reflects his enduring theme of finding beauty in everyday life.
