Description from the seller
About the Work
Technique: Multi-color woodblock print
Artist: Tadashige Nishida 西田忠重 (b. 1942)
Title: Pose (II) – White
Signed and numbered: 20/120
Overall size: 32 × 41 × 2.5 cm (including frame)
Image size: 27 × 21.5 cm
Origin: Japan
Description:
“Pose (II) – White” is a refined multi-color woodblock print by Tadashige Nishida, presenting a serenely seated white cat against a ground that evokes the warmth and quiet radiance of gold leaf. The softly torn-edged gold field, intersected by spare linear marks, suggests the presence of a byōbu folding screen, turning a familiar domestic subject into a composed, stage-like space.
The cat’s pale coat is rendered with delicate, controlled tonal shifts, while the amber eyes and composed posture lend a meditative stillness to the scene. Along the lower edge, a branch with green leaves and blue morning glories introduces a crisp counterpoint of color, balancing the gold ground with a cool botanical rhythm. The print is hand-signed and sealed by the artist and numbered 20/120, and it is presented in a wooden frame with mat, ready to display.
Artist Profile:
Tadashige Nishida (b. 1942) is a Japanese printmaker known for clean contour lines, simplified forms, and compositions that feel quietly theatrical. Born on Amami Ōshima, he developed his sense of form through design studies and painting training in both Western-style and Japanese-style approaches. His work often centers on intimate motifs such as cats and everyday scenes, elevated through disciplined color planes and subtle gradation. Within contemporary Japanese creative woodblock printmaking, his cat-themed prints are especially admired for their calm humor and poetic atmosphere.
