China in 30 rolschilderingen Possibly 1920 - 1925

"China in 30 rolschilderingen" is a woodblock print series by Japanese artist Fukuda Bisen, dating back to the 1920s. This particular print, showcasing a tranquil seascape with traditional Chinese sailing ships and billowing clouds, exemplifies Bisen's mastery of the rolschildering technique, a form of woodblock printing popularized in Japan during the early 20th century. The print is a testament to the artist's fascination with the East Asian cultures, particularly their rich maritime traditions, and is a beautiful example of the intersection of Japanese artistic techniques with Chinese imagery.
