About the Artist
Beautiful Kaga Yuzen Made from Tradition and Innovation
Textile artist Tomoji Ueda studied under the great and famous master of Kaga Yuzen, Jinro Maida after graduating from Kanazawa College of Art. While carrying on the traditional Kaga Yuzen techniques, he established a unique modern style. Using gradation of delicate hand-drawn Yuzen and realistic designs of beauty in nature at the base, his textiles are known for bold compositions and sophisticated colors. His textiles integrating the classical beauty of Kaga Yuzen with modern sensibility are highly evaluated as artistic works that transcend the boundaries of traditional crafts.
