Tsuzen Nakajima
Born in Tokyo in 1944. He established a method to create his unique woodblock prints, which he calls “Hangiga,” with translucent colors and a wood grain texture. As a genius who opened a new way for creating woodblock prints beyond the traditional Edo Ukiyoe, his works have drawn attention in various countries.
