Kawakami Sumio began making woodblock prints in the late Taisho period (1912-1926) while teaching English. After publishing landscapes, portraits, still lifes, and collections of poems, he consistently produced prints after the war with the theme of Nanban and the opening of Japan to civilization. The trading port of Yokohama, which served as the gateway to civilization and enlightenment, is also the hometown of Kawakami Sumio. Shopping Guide & Information of the Japanese Prints
