Munakata Shikō: Japanese Master of the Modern Print is a definitive exploration of the life and work of Munakata Shikō (1903–1975), one of Japan’s most celebrated 20th-century woodblock print artists. Known for his bold, expressive style and spiritual depth, Munakata revolutionized sosaku hanga (creative prints), blending Buddhist themes, folk art, and modernist energy. This monograph features vibrant reproductions of his iconic works—like the Ten Great Disciples of Buddha series—alongside essays contextualizing his fusion of tradition and rebellion. A must-read for admirers of Japanese art, printmaking, and cross-cultural modernism.
