Mitsuaki Sora - born 1933

Japanese Prints

Mitsumi Sora is primarily a sculptor. Making woodblock prints is more of a part-time hobby for the artist. His puzzle-like round shapes remind us of the sculptures created by Mitsuaki Sora. For print and art collectors there are in my view only two approaches. Either you like these abstract shapes or you don't.

Woodblock Prints by Mitsuaki Sora

Mitsuaki Sora was born in Hiroshima in 1933. He graduated from the renowned Tama College of Fine Arts. The artist is a well-known sculptor specialized in stone sculptures. His works in stone look round-shaped like the elements of his woodblock prints. He started printmaking in the 1960s.

Mitsuaki Sora prints are always colorful - but only the elements colored against a white background. His style is pretty unique. The printing method is the Japanese woodblock print. Editions are usually around 100, limited, numbered and signed by the artist.

The artist is represented by the renowned Yoseido Gallery and the Tolman Collection, both in Tokyo.
