Autumn 1927

"Autumn" (1927) by Yamakawa Shuho (1898-1944) is a woodblock print depicting a young woman in traditional Japanese clothing. The woman's elegant pose and the falling autumn leaves create a sense of tranquility and beauty. The intricate details of the woman's kimono and the background, executed using the traditional woodblock printing technique, showcase Shuho's mastery of the medium. This artwork, now located at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, represents the artist's distinctive style, drawing on the rich tradition of Japanese woodblock printing while incorporating a modern aesthetic.
