Small Garden 1967

"Small Garden" is a 1967 woodblock print by the Japanese artist Hiroyuki Tajima (1911-1984). The artwork depicts a stylized view of a garden, with thin black lines representing trees and plants against a green background. Scattered amidst the vegetation are small, red, rounded forms that could represent flowers or rocks. The composition is minimalist, with a dark black border framing the scene, contributing to a sense of quietude and serenity. This work reflects Tajima's mastery of the woodblock print medium, which he used throughout his career to create evocative and often abstract depictions of the natural world.
