About this artwork

Almost all of Noda Tetsuya’s prints bear the title Diary, as the images document his experiences on a particular day. For these prints, the artist used woodblocks for the chair and ground, and then used stencils of photographs made with a scanner for the figures. Although the two prints depict figures of different genders, it seems that Noda used the same blocks for the chair in both prints.
