Kurosaki, Akira (Japanese, 1937–2019)

Les Tenetres Vermeilles, 1970 (W 92)

Color woodblock print with inks and pure pigment

Edition 1 of 200 — pencil signed, titled, and dated by the artist

Sheet size: 31.25 x 21.5 inches (unframed)

This is the first print in the edition (1/200), signed and dated by Kurosaki himself — a detail that significantly increases its value compared to similar prints. In fine art collecting, the first prints often carry heightened prestige due to their sharpness, pigment clarity, and desirability among serious collectors.

Kurosaki’s use of pure pigment and traditional woodblock methods gives this piece exceptional tonal depth and texture, far beyond the quality of reprints or later pulls from the same edition. The vibrant interplay of bold architectural space, surreal forms, and shadowed geometry creates a distinctly modern yet timeless aesthetic.

This is an authentic piece from one of Japan’s most respected modern printmakers — not a reproduction.

In overall good condition, with minor creasing near the margins. Unframed.

Please review all photos before purchasing. Perfect for collectors of Japanese modernism, architectural abstraction, or color-driven minimalism.
