This original woodblock print by Kiyoshi Saito created in the mid-20th century shows a Maiko or a Geisha in training. The Maiko is sitting quietly with her face turned away from the audience, but is showing the nape of her neck, a sign of feminine and sensual beauty. This specimen integrates delicately carved patterns and natural wood grain into the drawing itself, a unique feature of Saito and the modern "self-designed, self-carved" (sōsaku-hanga) woodblock print movement, more broadly. This print is part of a Maiko series developed by Saito. His work is collected by the Ringling Museum of Art, Florida's official state art museum, and featured in their recent art exhibition catalog (see photos). Sold as-isShipped from the US
