Rare and important original woodblock print by Japanese artist Akira Kurosaki (1937–2019), titled Closed Room #5, created in 1971. Kurosaki was a pioneering master printmaker and educator, renowned for revitalizing Japanese woodblock traditions through bold experimentation with geometric abstraction, spatial layering, and vibrant color. His works are represented in major museum collections worldwide, including the British Museum, the National Museum of Modern Art Tokyo, and the Cincinnati Art Museum. Closed Room #5 exemplifies his acclaimed series from the early 1970s, in which Kurosaki explored the tension between interior and exterior spaces through striking, architectural compositions.
