Japanese Woodblock Print by Iwao Akiyama “Aoi Yama” 1979 Signed Santoka Taneda UE66

Description 

This is an original Japanese woodblock print titled “Aoi Yama (Blue Mountain)” by Iwao Akiyama (秋山巌, 1921–2014), a renowned printmaker known for his bold and expressive works inspired by Zen and haiku poetry.
This piece, created in 1979, features a powerful image of Fudo Myo-o (Acala) and includes the calligraphy of a haiku by the poet Santoka Taneda (1882–1940), whose free-verse style deeply influenced Akiyama’s art.
Edition numbered 135/200, hand-signed by the artist in pencil.
The work shows Akiyama’s signature dynamic contrasts of black and red tones and embodies a profound sense of spiritual energy and human emotion.
