The following Kaoru Kawano Prints are available for sale. 

Kaoru Kawano,  (1916 - 1965) 
Japanese Printmaker, Sosaku Hanga

Kaoru Kawano was born in Otaru, Hokkaido and in 1934 began his studies at
the Kawabata Art School. In 1944 his prints were first accepted by the
Japan Print Association. By the 1950's, he began to exhibit more frequently
in solo exhibitions and international competitions. Many of his prints lean
toward the sentimental, particularly his depiction of young children. Some
of his best works are restrained and introduce an effective balance of
design elements, some slightly sculptural in quality and arrangement. In
many of his prints, he makes effective use of woodgrain patterns for both
the background and the body of his subject.  This provides both  depth and
texture to his designs.  Another element of his work was his simplification
of form and shape.  They are always in balance which adds a certain
movement and slight tension to his compositions.  Overall his prints are a
pleasing balance among many elements creating a satisfying and timeless
feeling.  Most of his prints are signed or sealed and many are self-carved
and self-printed.
