Lot description

Akemi Inagaki (Born 1933) Japanese, Artists Proof Forest Scene Woodblock Print. Depicts two horses grazing together in a clearing deep in the woods. Signed and dated '72 in pencil bottom right. "Artist Proofs 7-7" written in pencil bottom middle. Titled "Horse" in English and kanji in pencil bottom left. Overall Size: 26 x 28 1/2 in. Sight Size: 14 x 17 3/4 in. Frame Thickness: 1 1/8 in. Akemi Inagaki was born in Tokyo in 1933, and was taught the basics of woodblock printing by Hiroyuki Tajima. She broke numerous barriers as a female artist in the waning days of the Empire period, with her later works mainly produced during the Showa Era, characterized by a tranquil elegance and by a restriction to very few colors displayed in many shades, focused primarily on scenes of nature.
