Tama | Shotei Takahashi | Ukiyo-e | Japanese Woodblock | Fine Art Print

This “Tama” ukiyo-e woodblock art print was created by Shotei Takahashi, an influential Japanese artist active in the early 20th century as part of the shin-hanga movement, which revitalized traditional Japanese woodblock printing with modern sensibilities and rich detail.

Woodblock printing in Japan (mokuhanga) is a technique best known for its use in the ukiyo-e artistic genre of single sheets, but it was also used for printing books in the same period. Widely adopted in Japan during the Edo period (1603–1868) and similar to woodcut in Western printmaking in some regards, the mokuhanga technique differs in that it uses water-based inks—as opposed to western woodcut, which typically uses oil-based inks. The Japanese water-based inks provide a wide range of vivid colors, glazes, and transparency.

This particular print, titled “Tama,” exemplifies the elegance and refined craftsmanship of Japanese woodblock printing. With its balanced use of line, color, and traditional technique, it makes a striking addition to any art collection or interior space. Whether you are a collector of classical Japanese prints or simply looking for unique art to decorate your home, this fine art piece offers cultural depth and visual appeal.
