JOICHI HOSHI SIGNED BUTTERFLY PRINT FRAMED

This 1964 wood print with ink and color on paper by renowned Japanese printmaker Joichi Hoshi (1913-1979) is signed by the artist with the notation "A.P." (Artist Print). His red seal appears near the bottom left corner. 

After drawing an image on a woodblock, Hoshi carved the wood to create the template for a print. His prints were then transferred to paper.

His prints are collected by many and are displayed in museums throughout the world.
