KUNIO KANEKO was born in Tokyo in 1949 and studied at the Musashino University of Fine Arts. He often uses gold leaf in the colouring of his woodblocks to extremely good effect and has a well established reputation through a number of exhibitions in New York, Tokyo and regional Japanese cities. His woodblocks have an individual appeal and blend the classic design traditions with a modernistic approach to colour and texture.

Kunio Kaneko’s woodblocks are all hand signed, dated, titled and numbered limited editions of often more than 200.
