Fumio Fujita - born 1933 Friday, September 18, 2009
Fumio Fujita is a major artist of Japanese post-war woodblock printmaking. During more recent years his reputation has suffered in my view by stereotype, repetitive images of white-bark trees.

Mitsuaki Sora - born 1933 Woodblock Prints by a Sculptor.
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.
