About This Print
One of a number of prints created by the artist using organic overlaid forms and colors. Particularly in his abstract woodblock prints, Shinagawa explored color attempting to achieve in his words "a living, glowing color deep in the paper, to become part of the paper. Often the pigments should be mixed in the paper by applying one over another..."11 Modern Japanese Prints: An Art Reborn, Oliver Statler, Charles E. Tuttle Company, 1956, p. 72.
