Biography Yamagishi, Kazue (1883 - 1966)
Kazue Yamagishi can justly be called a versatile and all-round artist: after studying Western-style painting and sculpture he started as a woodblock carver, and he became one of the best, carving blocks (in very different styles) for a.o. Yumeji, Kiyokata, Hiroshi Yoshida, Paul Jacoulet and Kōshirō Onchi. His self-designed prints were landscape prints: One hundred views of Japan, One hundred views of East Asia & One hundred views of the world, all done before WWII. |
