The Ronin Gallery is pleased to present a collection of deluxe Meiji period (1868-1912) woodblock reproductions by such artists as Sharaku, Utamaro, Choki and Eiri. Sumptuously printed on heavy handmade paper with rich iridescent mica backgrounds and careful gradation of colors each step in their creation was carried out by master craftsmen in the traditional fashion at the end of the 19th century.

Quiet moonlit nights, sudden thunderstorms, brilliant sunsets, fireworks and fireflies evoke poetic images of summertime. Ronin Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of 50 woodblock prints that convey universal visions of this season.

Kazutoshi Sugiura (1938- ) has created his own very distinct and popular style in the art of silkscreen printing. All of his work realistically depict various flowers, in particular the iris. A world-renowned artist who started his artistic journey with the study of traditional Japanese style painting, he is famous for his bold and beautiful flowers set against a rich, gold-leaf background which has become the hallmark of his art. This is achieved through a complex process of silkscreen techniques. His designs have an immediate appeal and are timeless, elegant and serene.

Tsuba are sword guards which were used to protect the hand during combat. According to Japanese tradition, the purity, strength and resilience of the sword blade reflected the very soul of the samurai.
