Koichi Maeda

Koichi Maeda (b. 1936) is a Japanese woodblock print artist with extensive experience. Already in 1961, at the age of 25, his works were exhibited through the Japan Print Association. His early works, now rarely found, are reminiscent of impressionistic art, but his later works became more naturalistic. His work remains deeply atmospheric and echoes the woodblock prints of Kawase Hasui, with his landscape prints often searching for a serenity and timelessness.

Koichi Maeda hand-signs his prints, and they are numbered, typically in editions of 80.
