TANAKA (Ikko) designer. & KIDA (Yasuhiko).
Nihon no matsuri - Kida Yasuhiko Mokuhanga [Japanese Festivals - Woodblock prints by Kida Yasuhiko].

Kida Yasuhiko is a noted Japanese printmaker. Born in Kyoto in 1944, he did a master’s degree at the Kyoto City University of Arts and became a freelance printmaker in 1975. Elements of his work were influenced by Munakata Shiko (1903-1975) but he developed his own expressive style. Kida travelled throughout Japan over a period of ten years to collect material for the present publication which illustrates the variety and vibrancy of matsuri festivals in various regions and seasons. Works 220.
