He identified with the woodblock itself and said, \"If there is anything here [in my print] that is inferior to an uncarved block, then I have not created my print. I have lost to the board.\" Fish and Flower and Female Buddha was commissioned by the Print Club of Cleveland as its 1959 presentation print.",
