Hajime Namiki

Link: Website of Fuji Arts Japanese Prints …

Hajime Namiki is a master of Contemporary Arts, born in Tokyo in 1947. He was fascinated by trees and captured their majesty and beauty in a modern style with traditional methods. Here you see a small collection of his exciting woodblock-prints, which he began to create since 1978. The nature scenes were printed on gold or silver leaf laid over Torinoko paper. You'll find more artwork of Hajime Namiki on the website of Fuji Arts.
