About this work

Overview

Okumura Masanobu's 'Untitled' is a woodblock print created around 1800. It features a serene scene with a bull and a waterfall.

Subject & Meaning

The print depicts a man guiding a bull along a narrow path beside a waterfall. The bull's dark hide and rippling muscles contrast with the white water, creating a sense of movement.

Technique & Style

This 'white-line' woodblock print employs a rare technique where ink is applied over carved lines, allowing the paper's color to show through. This method produces a soft, glowing effect, differing from traditional woodblock prints where inked lines stand out against a white background.
