Around 1963, after moving to Atsugi, he began creating \u003cem\u003esōsaku-hanga\u003c\/em\u003e woodblock prints, meaning works conceived, carved, and printed by the artist himself, and exhibited with the Japan Print Association.\u003cbr\u003eHis preferred subject is the forest, earning him the nickname “the forest painter”: trees with sharply defined trunks, reduced to their essentials, in which the grain of the wood becomes the texture of the backgrounds and foregrounds. He remained an independent artist, and his woodblock prints, produced in numbered editions and hand-signed, are carved and printed entirely by him. From 1987, he taught woodblock printing at the Odakyu Culture School.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Galleria Elena Salamon - Arte Moderna","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54273188790619,"sku":null,"price":650.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0405\/8110\/3766\/files\/FUJITAFUMIOWhiteBirches.jpg?v=1791468365","url":"https:\/\/www.elenasalamon.com\/en\/products\/fujita-fumio-betulle-bianche-1990","provider":"Galleria Elena Salamon - Arte Moderna","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
