Benji Asada (1899-1984), who worked during the Showa period, was an influential Japanese painter and printmaker. Trained in traditional Japanese painting under Takeuchi Seihō, he contributed significantly to the shin-hanga movement and was a founding member of the Kyoto Creative Print Society. Known for his beautiful kachō-ga (flower-and-bird) and fūkei-ga (landscape) prints, Asada's work often combines traditional themes with contemporary aesthetics, making this piece a remarkable example of his artistry.
