Taiyaki II

A square piece of paper depicting a taiyaki - a yellow/orange fish shape seen side-on, looking to the right. The print is signed in the bottom left corner. The print sits on crumpled navy fabric with light-colored checks.

The 4x4 inch print is pedestal-mounted above a white matboard background within a square black wood frame. The print and frame cast shadows on the matboard.

A left hand holds a flat piece of linoleum carved with the dark outline of a taiyaki, covered in dark brown ink. Two more carved linoleum blocks sit in the background, covered in orange and yellow inks.

Taiyaki are “bean fish”: waffle-like, fish-shaped pockets filled with red bean paste.

This print is part of a limited edition of only 100 prints. Each print is carefully handprinted using a set of 3 hand-carved linocut blocks. The paper is cream-colored and 100% cotton, and the four edges are either hand-torn or deckled. The front of each print is signed with the artist’s initials and the edition number; the back of each print is labeled with full print details.

Because each print is an original work of art, there will be some variation between prints. Prints are sold unframed.

Wagashi are traditional Japanese sweets, often made using mochi and an, or red bean paste. Each print in this series is handprinted on 4x4" paper and features a different type of wagashi.
