- New Year (Wave of Hope) , 2001 -

This mini-size woodblock print was originally created for a calendar and published by Chikuho-do. Handcrafted using the traditional Japanese woodblock printing technique, it would make a delightful accent for a small space or a thoughtful gift for someone special.

This January calendar design depicts a young girl joyfully surfing the first waves of the year while holding a bright red apple. The vibrant colors, bold contrasts, and playful composition create a cheerful, energetic image that perfectly captures the festive spirit of the New Year.
