About This Print

"This series is like a report on China. Woodblock printing originated in China, and I had wanted to visit there for a long time, but due to the unstable political situation I was unable to do so. In these prints, I could make good use of video and photographic print techniques while also using Chinese history, culture, written characters, seals, and traditional Chinese composition to establish a new style and changes in my work." [The Complete Works of Akira Kurosaki: Catalogue Raisonne: Woodcuts & Paper Works 1965-2006 黒崎彰の全仕事. Tokyo, Abe Shuppan, 2006, p. 12 ]
