Gashu Fukami (深水賀秀) (1953) - After the Rain

【Description】
An exceptional and beautifully preserved original Japanese woodblock print titled "After the Rain" (雨あがり) by the acclaimed contemporary printmaker Gashu Fukami (1953–2023).

Fukami studied traditional woodblock printing in the historic art city of Kyoto before moving to the United States to further refine his artistic vision at a prestigious art institute in Boston. This international background allowed him to masterfully combine classic Japanese woodcut precision with a modern, colorful, and highly expressive pop-art/contemporary sensibility.

This particular work features a whimsical and charming portrait of a girl holding an umbrella under drifting clouds, captured with bold lines and a delightful mid-century modern aesthetic. It perfectly represents the unique appeal of modern Japanese graphic art.

Crucially for collectors, this is a highly desirable limited edition of only 100 prints worldwide, featuring the artist's original pencil signature and hand-written title on the lower margin. It offers a fantastic acquisition opportunity for any serious collector of Japanese contemporary prints (Sosaku-hanga) and modern illustrations.
