This exquisite kirie technique print is a work by Japanese woodcut artist and kirie master Takidaira Jiro, created between the 1960s and 1970s. Centered on nowaki(野分)—the strong autumn winds in Japan—the piece depicts a kimono-clad woman standing amid wind-swept grass: the lines of her flowing hair, robe hems, and grass blades emphasize the dynamism of the wind, while small lavender flowers add subtle accents. The black-and-off-white palette highlights a minimalist decorative aesthetic. In the lower right corner, the inscription “野分き「きりえ」滝平 二郎” clearly references the kirie (切絵) technique pioneered by the artist, and includes the artist’s signature
This artwork comes with a wooden frame and glass panel. The frame originally showed signs of wear (e.g., dents, scuffs) but has been refinished with fresh paint. Due to age, the washi paper exhibits oxidation, yellowing, and yellow spots.
Artist Notes
Takidaira Jiro, a Japanese woodcut artist and kirie master, began creating woodcuts in 1940 and held his first exhibition in 1942. After World War II, he joined the Japan Art Association and worked in printmaking and book design. He pioneered the kirie technique (officially named in 1969) and won the Kodansha Publication Culture Award (Book Design Category) in 1970 for Hanasaki Yama (《花さき山》). He collaborated with writers on picture books (e.g., Someko to Oni (《ソメコとオニ》), which received the 10th Ehon Nippon Award) and participated in public art design. As a key promoter of Japanese kirie art, his works focus on rural life and children’s themes, blending traditional aesthetics with a sense of everyday life.
