Morita Kanya as Kitsune Tadanobu in 'Yoshisune senbon-zakura', Natori Shunsen, artist, 1952, Tokyo, woodcut, The major Japanese 20th century printmaker Natori Shunsen (1886-1960) first worked for the principal publisher of shin-hanga ('modern prints'), Watanabe Shzabur, in 1916 and was well-known in America through his exhibitions at the Toledo Museum of Art. Shunsen was one of the first to re-establish his relationship with the publisher after the war, and his works were immediately popular. Their appeal, as of shin-hanga generally, was due largely to their direct, accessible, naturalism. They reflected the experiences of Western visitors, and they confirmed an 'imagined Japan' for collectors in America.
