Description:
Yoshitomo Nara’s Broken Treasures (2012) is a delicate and emotionally charged woodcut that exemplifies the artist’s continued engagement with traditional Japanese printmaking techniques. Executed in the Ukiyo-e style on fine Japan paper, this edition of 50 merges craftsmanship and sentiment, translating Nara’s introspective characters into a tactile, timeless medium.
The composition features one of Nara’s signature childlike figures rendered with subtle melancholy and vulnerability — a visual metaphor for fragility, nostalgia, and the quiet strength of imperfection. By adapting the centuries-old woodblock process to his contemporary visual language, Nara redefines the balance between innocence and rebellion that permeates his work.
Each print is hand-signed by the artist and finely executed with crisp lines and soft tonal gradations. Broken Treasuresstands as one of Nara’s most refined print editions of the 2010s, bridging his iconic emotional narrative with Japan’s enduring artistic traditions.
