Seiichi Hiroshima

Seiichi Hiroshima is a master printmaker and print artist living and working in Tokyo, Japan. He has printed for Rick Bartow and James Lavadour, among others. For his own work, Hiroshima primarily uses the color mezzotint process, using a rocker to create a rich textured surface from which he burnishes and scrapes his image, producing a velvety quality. His poetic images of maple leaves, cherry blossoms, crows, frogs and other creatures, often set against a kimono textile-like background, portray an important connection to traditional Japanese art and culture, often, referencing the great Japanese 20th century mezzotint master, Yozo Hamaguchi.
