Kojima Gyokuhō
Appearance
Kojima Gyokuhō (児嶋 玉鳳, 1907–1934) was a Japanese artist associated with the shin hanga (new prints) movement. Little is known about him, except that he worked with the Kyoto City publisher Happōdō.[1] He rejected the Western concept that art was an expression of the artist's individuality. Rather, he embraced the traditional method of producing woodblock prints through the cooperation of a designer (artist), a woodblock carver, a printer, and a publisher.[2][3] He also favored traditional Japanese subjects, such as Japanese textiles, kabuki, and ukiyo-e masterpieces.[4]
