Koichi Maeda (b. 1936) is a Japanese woodblock artist with enormous experience. Already in 1961, at the age of 25, his works were exhibited through the Japan Print Association. His early works, now rare to find, are reminiscent of impressionistic art, but his later works became more naturalistic. Still, his art is very atmospheric and echoes the nature of the woodblock prints of Kawase Hasui. His landscapes bring serenity and take the viewer to beautiful and calm places.

Koichi Maeda hand-signs his prints, and they are numbered, typically in editions of 80. Pricing ranges from about 200E to 500E, depending on the design.
