Shinsui Ito

Shinsui Ito 1898-1972

After Washing Her Hair

Shinsui Ito learned the art of printmaking at a printing company in Tokyo from the early age of twelve. Later he studied under Kiyokata Kaburagi. He was approached by the publisher Watanabe through the mediation of his teacher Kiyokata Kaburagi and made the first bijin print in 1916. It was the beginning of a life-long cooperation between Watanabe and Shinsui Ito. The artist became one of the most appreciated Shin Hanga printmakers for bijin (beautiful women) and landscapes subjects. After worldwar II his contribution to the development of Japanese culture was honored by declaring him an intangible national property and by other awards.
