1. Not a painting. A woodblock print.

2. Title: something like "autumn evening in the white mountain forests."

Artist's name seal: 横山隆雄－Japanese readers please translate

Here's a fairly detailed bio entry for Yokoyama Takao (横山隆雄), the print-making artist, from a Japanese art annual online. There's more in an introduction at the website, but it doesn't translate very well by machine. The portion below took some massaging to make sense as well and further attention by Japanese scholars would be welcome. Link is included herewith.

YOKOYAMA TAKAO

1945 - Born in Hiroshima Prefecture

1976 - Rookie of the Year Award at 16th Japan Print Association Exhibition

1978 - Japan Print Association, (87 years Japan Edition Kokugakai and becomes incoming Chairperson for China)

2001 - 42 Japan Print Association Exhibition Wan Hua Award

2002 - Activity moved to China, in 2004 Exhibition held in Suzhou City Library (Returned in 2005)

2004 - 45th Japan print Association Exhibition Education Science Minister Award

2006 - Print Forum "Washi-no-Sato Higashi-Chichibu Exhibition" Chichibu East Village Chairman award

2007 - Fukuya Gallery Exhibition, Hiroshima, (every ten years), Yokoyama child prints, two-person exhibition

2012 - Yokoyama Takao prints exhibition -- Fascinated by red and green -- Hatsukaichi Art Gallery

Best regards,

Bill H.

Mika, you misunderstand me. I know what the characters MEAN. I am not sure how they are transliterated into sounds in Japanese as the Japanese language often has multiple pronunciations for a single character.

I was asking for someone with a greater understanding of Japanese and Japanese names to TRANSLITERATE the characters.
