Shikō Munakata Woodblock Print 1960s | Japanese Sōsaku Hanga Art

This is an authentic framed woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Shikō Munakata, sourced directly from a Japan government auction.

Created in the 1960s, this piece is a traditional Japanese woodcut print — not a hand-painted artwork. Like all true woodblock prints, the image was carved into wood and printed onto paper, reflecting Munakata’s powerful carving technique and expressive style.

The composition features a stylized figure surrounded by organic and symbolic forms, a hallmark of Munakata’s work, often inspired by spirituality, folklore, and nature. His bold lines and dynamic energy are clearly visible in this print, making it a striking example of post-war Japanese art.

Munakata was a leading figure in the Sōsaku-hanga movement, where artists were involved in every step of the process—designing, carving, and printing—giving each work a deeply personal and authentic character.

This artwork is framed for protection and display, making it both a collectible and a refined interior piece.
