While shifting motifs from abstract to snowballs, constellations, horizons, and trees, which are representative of Hoshi's work, he spared no effort to create an expression that satisfied him, such as burning woodblocks with a burner and using his own knives andiron brushes in addition to the usual engraving knives Hoshi Joichi continued to produce woodblock prints focusing on trees, earning him the nickname "the woodblock artist of trees," andbecame very popular, especially overseas Please be advisedThis is a consigned itemMy knowledge of art and paintings is extremely limited aside from what I find on line or similar eBay offerings Additional pictures upon request Item sold "as is", no return so please review all pics and ask questions in advance of bid.No international shippingPayment must be received within three days of invoicePayPal AcceptedIf there is a problem that I did not mention in the listing, please contact me so that I can try to make things right.
