Duizend grassen 1903 - 1904

"Duizend grassen" (A Thousand Grasses) is a woodblock print by Kamisaka Sekka, created between 1903 and 1904. The artwork, which is now in the Rijksmuseum, features a minimalist design of stylized birds against a muted grey background. This piece showcases Sekka's mastery of woodblock printing and his ability to evoke a sense of tranquility and natural beauty through simple yet expressive forms. The title refers to the delicate brushstrokes that create the impression of countless blades of grass, further emphasizing the subtle beauty of the natural world.
