Yasunori Taninaka (1897-1946) was a printmaker active in the 1930s. During this period, Tokyo was recovering from the Great Kanto Earthquake and showing off a modern and glamorous face, but at the same time it was leaning towards a wartime regime, and there was a growing sense of anxiety and confinement. Yanaka wandered around New Tokyo like a balloon, superimposing his childhood memories and ideals of life onto the metropolis, creating woodblock prints that interweave dreams and reality.
