Although originally trained as a sculptor, he began making wood block prints in 1978. He carves his own blocks and prints each work using traditional methods. These beautiful prints are printed on a gold or silver leaf laid over Torinoko paper. Namiki also uses oil-based paints rather than the more common use of watercolours. Mr. Namiki signs, titles, numbers, and dates them in pencil. Every week we offer a wide range of Japanse art prints here on Catawiki.
