The fifteen prints in this series won multiple awards at prestigious international print fairs in the 1960s, placing Hagiwara at the forefront of modern Japanese printmaking. Using his two-sided printing technique, as described in the label for Autumn Color, he created an almost ethereal surface on which to print these translucent petals lying on soft stone.
