RARE ESTAMPE JAPONAISE AUTHENTIQUE "Hidrangea & girl " TRES BON ETAT ( X 19 CM The art of Shuzo Ikeda is very distinctive. Children or young women with large eyes holding a pet or flower - depicted in stylized images. That's what a typical woodblock print by Shuzo Ikeda looks like. Shuzo Ikeda's art is typical for the post-war economic booming years of circa until . Shuzo Ikeda - a Real Moku Hanga Artist Shuzo Ikeda was born in Akita prefecture. In he graduated from Tokyo Higher Normal School. After a few years of teaching the artist became a member of Nihon Hanga Kyokai and other Japanese artist associations and turned to woodblock printmaking  ('moku hanga') as a professional full-time artist. Shuzo uses the woodblock technique. He is especially good in integrating the texture of the woodblock grain into his images. The Feelings of an Era The art style of Shuzo Ikeda represents in my view the spirit of the years of the late s until early s. It was the period of a prosperous post-war economy and of great cultural changes in the industrialized Western nations, in the way of life, music and fashion. In my view, Ikeda's images "breathe" this era pretty much. If you happen to belong to a generation that was born before maybe you may have the same feelings when looking at the artist's prints.)
