Kobashi,Yasuhide (1931 - 2003 )

Yasuhide Kobashi was a 20th century woodblock print artist, sculptor, stage designer, and painter. Born in Kojima, Okayama Prefecture, Kobashi graduated from Kyoto College of Crafts and textiles in 1955 before moving to New York City in 1959. In Japan, had studied woodblock printmaking under artist Unichi Hiratsuka, working in the self-cut, self-printed spirit of the Sosaku Hanga movement. He found an eager patron in Nelson Rockefeller following the move to New York. Today, Kobashi’s work can be found in institutions such as the Museum of Modern Art NY, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Cleveland Museum of Art.

Sosaku Hanga | Post-WWII Japanese Prints

The Sosaku Hanga or “creative print” movement emerged in the changing Japan of the early 20th century. The movement arose from a central tenant: the artist must participate in every aspect of production. As artists shed the traditional delegation of ukiyo-e production and explored each role themselves, the act of printmaking adopted a more spontaneous, expressive attitude. Artists explored with the knife, chisel, woodblock, and ink to push to the boundaries of their medium. Originally excluded from Japan’s formal art world, Sosaku Hanga began on the pages of magazines. It was not until 1919 that the first Sosaku Hanga exhibition opened in Tokyo. Ranging from figural to abstract, the movement flourished after WWII, and found a new, eager audience among American GIs. In this collection, Ronin Gallery presents masters of Sosaku Hanga such as Onchi, Ono, Munakata, Saito, Sekino, and Mori, as well as other post-war Japanese printmakers.
