Shoji Osugi (b. 1945) – Music

Osugi combines woodblock printing with embossing, overlaying many variants of colour to create a textural feel.  His works are full of Japanese historical imagery depicting men and women from the Tales of Genji, a classic work of Japanese literature written in the 11^th Century by a noblewoman, as in this piece.  Osugi’s works are in the permanent collection of the Cincinnati Art Museum USA in addition to numerous private collections.
