Rei Yuki 由木礼 (1928-2003) Spleen, 1965 Rei’s prints have been described as “delicate fantasies, scenes of landscape that can exist only in the imagination.” The texture of the woodblock itself creates dappled tones and fragile shades.   The works are light, yet the source of the light is hidden behind fences and arches.  It is a light defined by shadows, creating a mood of timeless suspension.
