Product Description
Kazuyuki Ohtsu served for forty years as the assistant to Kiyoshi Saito, a woodblock artist at the forefront of the sosaku hanga movement. Instead of the division of labor relied on by Hiroshige, Hokusai, and virtually every other Japanese printmaker who preceded them, the creative print artists handled every step of the production of prints themselves. They painted the original pictures, carved the woodblocks, and drew the prints.The compositions of Ohtsu often juxtapose a close-up botanical element in the foreground with a series of planes of color that lead into the background. For subjects, he eschews modern urbanism and takes us to parks and still waters, occasionally rural villages and temples. When human figures appear, they are small and anonymous. His colors are elemental, deep, and trueÑexpressive without drama.Twenty assorted 5 x 7 inch blank notecards, 5 each of 4 styles, with envelopes in a decorative box. Contains five each of the following notecards: Ose 2, Green Garden at Hakone, Mt. Fuji and Red Flower, and Red Camellia.

This review is from: Serenity: The Art of Kazuyuki Ohtsu Boxed Notecards, 20 Blank Greeting Cards with 4 Different Styles
These are very striking and unique - so attractive that you could use them as art. Was a gift for a friend and she loved these cards - and I received a wonderful thank-you note on one of the cards.

This review is from: Serenity: The Art of Kazuyuki Ohtsu Boxed Notecards, 20 Blank Greeting Cards with 4 Different Styles
I wanted some simple blank greeting cards that evoke a feeling of peace and joy in the recipient. These fit what I desired to a T! There are four different paintings, all are very Zen Buddhist-like. The artist did an amazing job illuminating the beauty of nature and giving enough variety to suit different personalities. I have used several of them now and I have been thanked for my thank you card!
