About the artist
Born in Shizuoka prefecture in 1959, Seiji Sano moved to the creative center of Kyoto in 1978. He studied textile design before turning to the woodblock print medium in 1984. A student of the popular printmaker Masao Ido, Sano gravitated towards the themes of his teacher: lush landscapes, rural villages, and other scenes from Japan’s countryside. His work can be found in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum.
