Description from the seller

Gashu Fukami “When the Wind Rises” Woodblock Print – Hand-Signed Sheet

Item Description:
This charming woodblock print titled “When the Wind Rises” by Japanese artist Gashu Fukami presents a poetic and minimalist scene rendered in warm, earthy tones. The composition features a small house-like structure beneath a stylized sky, with a solitary figure nearby, evoking a quiet, contemplative moment. Fukami’s signature bold outlines and layered color technique create both depth and a sense of gentle nostalgia.

Rooted in the tradition of contemporary Japanese woodblock printing, the work reflects Fukami’s distinctive blend of lyrical storytelling and simplified form. The textured surface and hand-printed quality enhance its authenticity and tactile appeal, making it a wonderful addition to any collection of modern Japanese prints.
