Uchimasa
Tokugawa shogunate
Uchimasa is a Tokugawa shogunate Baroque artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Uchimasa made single-sheet woodblock prints in ink and delicate color. In Untitled, a willow’s branches dip over a quiet river, its reflection mirrored in still water. The palette stays muted except for a single red maple leaf caught mid-fall.
Look closer: the artist used bokashi, a gradation technique, to soften the sky’s edge. Tap Untitled to zoom into the woodgrain texture and the carver’s signature cut-out.
