Birds (Yatsuo no Tsubaki) Woodblock

Taguchi Tamoki (active late 19th–early 20th century) was a Japanese woodblock print artist known for his elegant designs rooted in traditional ukiyo-e aesthetics. Born in a regional town, possibly in central Japan, he trained under local artisans before establishing himself in Kyoto, a hub of artistic innovation during the Meiji era. Tamoki gained recognition for his intricate patterns and nature-inspired motifs, often depicting seasonal flora and fauna with a refined, minimalist style. His works, including contributions to design books for textiles and decorative arts, reflected a blend of Edo-period techniques and emerging modern influences. Though less documented than contemporaries, his legacy endures through preserved prints admired by collectors today.
