"Signal" is a 1962 woodblock print by Kiyoshi Saito, a prominent Japanese artist known for his bold and expressive style. The artwork features a stark and minimalist depiction of a railway crossing, with the black silhouettes of the tracks and overhead structures against a dark background. The two red signal lights stand out as the focal point, suggesting a sense of anticipation and movement. Saito's "Signal" exemplifies the artist's ability to convey a powerful sense of place and atmosphere through simple yet striking imagery, making it a compelling example of Japanese woodblock printing in the mid-20th century.
