Synopsis

This reprint of In Praise of Trees by internationally acclaimed artist Naoko Matsubara coincided with her exhibitions at the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, River Bank Gallery, Niagara on-the-Lake, and her major solo show at the Art Gallery of Ontario, opening July 19, 2025. Originally published in 1984, this 90-page volume features 38 original woodcuts and poetry by renowned international writers, edited by Peter Heyworth. A limited edition included a signed, numbered woodcut by Matsubara. Matsubara’s fascination with trees stems from her childhood in Kyoto, where sacred groves influenced her. Her work animates trees with a mysterious, powerful presence, challenging and inspiring viewers. “Matsubara sees the spiritual and physical qualities of wood … Her attention to detail and mastery in printmaking create the illusion of trees rustling and showcase her skill as a woodcut artist.” — Daniel J. Kushner
