Description

This hand-printed Masaaki Tanaka silkscreen print captures a moment from a New Year’s Eve Shugendo ritual in Yamagata Prefecture, depicting a Matsuhijiri Yamabushi in motion. Tanaka’s illustrative approach recalls manga and pop sensibilities while emphasizing rhythmic, abstract figure art and bold color fields. The Japanese characters for "Genkurabe" and "Yamagata" are present as part of the composition, anchoring the piece in traditional festival art and Shinto themed art contexts.

Artist background

Masaaki Tanaka, born in Tokyo in 1947, is known for translating Japanese landscapes and cultural scenes into a pop-influenced visual language. His prints appeal to collectors interested in modern Japanese printmaking and works that bridge traditional subject matter with contemporary, anime-adjacent aesthetics.

Display and framing

Framing is highly recommended to preserve the paper and display the signed wall art securely. Because of the print’s color palette and scale, it pairs well with Japandi wall decor and modern interiors where a colorful wall hanging or anime style poster can act as a focal point. Use archival matting and UV-protective glazing when possible to protect pigments.
