Takeo Takei Japanese Limited Edition Woodblock Print "Autumn Leaves", 1964 copper patina Or just leave it onThis woodblock print is the work of Takeo Takei (1894 1983), a painter, printmaker and highly influential illustrator, especially known for his work for childrens books and his belief in making artwork that respected and nurtured a childs imagination.
