This woodblock printmaker combines traditional woodblock printmaking with his unique style. Having begun as an oil painter of abstract works, Morimura is unusual in using oil-based inks rather than the traditional water-based inks. His images are usually of traditional real life landscapes, but he combines this with geometric and abstract patterns bringing a modern angle to the images. This print is such an example and depicts the artists view of Ryoanji Stone Garden, the fifteenth century garden in Kyoto and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Printed on very thin Japanese washi mulberry paper, the image is delicate yet resonating with a moonlit charm. Morimura's intricate woodblock carvings exemplify minute details. His works are included in the permanent collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and Ashmolean Museum, Oxford.
