Namiki (b. 1947) began his art career studying sculpture as a student of the legendary artist Shigeru Ogura, and found a talent in carving wood blocks, achieving a mastery in color composition. Although he works in the tradition of the Japanese Sosaku Hanga masters, carving his own blocks and self-printing each work, Namiki uses unconventional materials in his prints, such as silver and gold leaf and oil-based pigments. His motifs follow the Japanese principle of observing change. Trees are a central theme for their growth, seasonal aspects, and the subtle changes in light and hue throughout a single day. Namiki's intricate works are in the collection of the White House, the Los Angeles Museum of Art, and other major museum collections. (https://www.panteek.com/Namiki/pages/NAM056-431.htm) undefined
