Painting
Koshiro Onchi (1891, 1955) was a Japanese printmaker and painter who pioneered sosaku-hanga, the movement of artist-created woodblock prints that granted makers direct control over design, carving, and printing. Working across ukiyo-e traditions and modernist abstraction, he created boldly graphic compositions that merged Japanese aesthetic heritage with early twentieth-century European influences. His prints and paintings established a distinctly individualized approach to the medium that departed from the commercial workshop system of traditional woodblock production.
