Kazuyuki Ohtsu (b. 1935) served for forty years
as assistant to Kiyoshi Saito, a woodblock artist
at the forefront of the Sosaku Hanga
movement. Now he is one of very popular woodblock
print artist. His collectors are worldwide Born
in a time of political and cultural turmoil for
his homeland, Kazuyuki Ohtsu spent his formative
years under the shadow of war. From this chaos
and struggle, he took refuge in reading, and so
began his love of the printed word. This quiet,
introspective man would ultimately gain renown
for printed images that offer a visual escape and
evoke a sense of peace. Author Bob Hicks, in his
monograph on the artist (Kazuyuki Ohtsu,
Pomegranate 2016), remarked that despite Ohtsus
real-world experiences and the crush and thrum of
life in modern-day Tokyo, the artist has created
a dream Japan.
