	Viewing Japanese Prints: Munakata
		Munakata was moved by what he called the "power of the board"; he even used a different first character when calling his prints hanga, his version translating into something more like "board picture" than the standard term (which is closer to "print picture").
		Munakata also used a hand-drawn chrysanthemum blossom for his familiar kakihan (writing seal) of a stylized pine needle (said to derive from one used by his grandfather, who was a swordmaker and his father, who used it on tools for his flsmith's trade).

	Scholten Japanese Art \| Netsuke \| Inro \| Lacquer \| Screens \| Paintings \| Prints
		Shiko Munakata was born in Aomori (northern part of main island of Japan), the third son of a traditional flsmith.
		At the age of 23 (in 1926) Shiko Munakata saw a sumizuri-e (fl and white) woodblock print by Sumio Kawakami (1895-1972) and was immediately struck by the starkness of the fl and white and the artist's ability to capture the mood of a poem that was its inspiration.
		Munakata always printed sumizuri-e (using fl only), but began to concede to his love of color by applying it from verso (the technique was suggested by Yanagi so as not to interfere with the intensity of the fl printing on the front).

	LACMA: Press Release
		Munakata Shiko was born in 1903, the sixth child of a poor flsmith in Aomori, the northernmost prefecture of Honshu.
		Munakata became a woodblock printmaker for two reasons: his nearsightedness, and his belief that the Japanese woodblock print was equal to Western painting.
		Munakata distanced himself from modern Western art by asserting that the woodblock print was a distinctive Japanese art form capable of rivaling anything being created in the West.

		It is hard to do justice to the astounding body of work which the Japanese woodblock printmaker Shiko Munakata created between 1931 and 1975 (the year of his death at the age of 73).
		Munakata was a man cast in a Herculean mould - whilst his work is often tender and sensuous, and frequently humorous, it is big in size, full of energy and strong in power.
		Munakata was no miniaturist, almost the opposite: some of his huge woodcuts are more than ten feet wide and five feet high, bursting with energy across every square inch and with a mastery of all which can be done with fl and white.
