Print Work

Sarah and Octopus/ Seventh Heaven
2001, 10-7/16" x 15-3/4," 29-color woodblock print, Edition of 200 on hosho paper

While most of Masami's art is watercolor painting on paper or canvas, he has a limited number of works done by various printmaking processes. His only true woodblock print in the Ukiyo-e process are the 1982 31 Flavors Invading Japan/Today's Special and the 2001 Sarah and Octopus/ Seventh Heaven (above). Four "Hawaii Snorkel Series" Prints from Tyler Graphics in 1993 combined western etching with contemporary Japanese woodblock techniques. Other than these, a handful of lithographs and etchings complete Teraoka's forays into the print medium.
