Description:
Toneyama
Kojin (利根山光人1921 – 1994) was a well known Japanese artist and print
maker [quite active during the 50s – 70s] see the cited reference below. As noted
by Merritt and Yamada, he graduated from Wasada Univeristy in 1943 and his
lithographs and woodblocks were widely exhibited internationally. This highly
limited color lithograph print (entitled Landscape of Child) was one of his
better prints issued in 1958.
