Rikio Takahashi (1917-1999)
Rikio Takahashi was one Japan’s prominent sōsaku hanga artists. Combining the influences of abstract Modern art of the West and the traditional subjects of his native Japan – namely the gardens of Kyoto – Takahashi’s delicately overlaid designs create an atmosphere of stillness and balance inspired by the changing of the seasons and subtleties of light.
