Sadao Watanabe Scenes from the Bible - Nativity 1970
Sadao Watanabe, Scenes from the Bible - Nativity. 1970, block print on rice paper. Signed, dated and character blocked in red by the artist. Framed size: 10.75 x 9.5 inches. Fine condition. Watanabe Sadao, July 7, 1913 – January 8, 1996, was a Japanese artist best known for his prints that meld biblical imagery with the traditional Japanese folk art known as mingei. Watanabe's work portrays the Christian gospel with a distinctive use of crumpled wet paper mixed with mineral pigments suspended in soy milk, known as katazome. I would most like to see them hanging where people ordinarily gather, the artist said of his work.  Because Jesus brought the gospel for the people.
