<<  Contemporary Japanese Prints

Contemporary Japanese printmaking is characterized by a coexistence of the old traditional woodblock technique and modern western methods like etching or lithographs. Japanese print artists gained wide recognition and are frequently found among the prize winners of international art exhibitions.

Some of the Japanese artists live permanently in the USA like Masami Teraoka or teach printmaking for a few years at a US university like Yuji Hiratsuka. And while Japanese artists live abroad, quite a number of foreign artists chose to settle permanently in Japan like Clifton Karhu or David Stones.
