Hashimoto Okiie ( 1899- 1993) was a Japanese woodcut artist. After working as a teacher and spare-time artist, he devoted himself completely to the artistic activity and became well known only after the publication of Oliver Statler’s Modern Japanese Prints (1960).
He specialized in prints depicting Japanese castles and gardens, as the 1946 series “Ten Views of Ancient Castles”.
Here’s a first selection of his works.
