Born into an artistic family, his father was the renowned Japanese printmaker Iwamae Yōichirō (磐前 羊一郎), who not only served as his first teacher but also frequently oversaw the publication of his works—a story celebrated in the Japanese printmaking world. The work depicts three children kneeling and looking up at the sky, imbuing the scene with innocence and poetry that conveys a sense of wonder at the unknown and the quiet charm of childhood. Using soft colors and expressive, freehand brushwork, the artist portrays tender themes of children and nature, blending the expressive elegance of East Asian ink painting with the delicate texture of modern printmaking to create a deeply healing effect. The color transitions are gentle and seamless, with the artist’s signature and red seal (印章) visible in the lower-left corner. Printed by professional workshops such as Akagawa Print Studio (赤川版画工房) on high-quality paper, the piece exemplifies meticulous craftsmanship. Due to age, the paper shows minor signs of oxidation and yellowing, overall condition remains good. Note: Frame not included.
