Fumio Fujita: Biography
Fumio Fujita, born in Aichi province in 1933, graduated from the renowned Musashino College of Fine Arts in 1955. In 1963, he embarked on creating woodlbock prints in the moku hanga style—self-carved and self-printed.
While his primary subjects often revolve around landscapes with a focus on trees, this theme gained popularity among Japanese printmakers following the success of another artist, Joichi Hoshit who achieved fame for predominantly creating tree-centric images.
Fumio Fujita consistently exhibits with "Kokugakai," a Japanese printmaker association. He has held numerous solo shows in Tokyo and sporadically participates in the prestigious CWAJ print shows (College Women of Japan), established by Oliver Statler after World War II.
