Hatsuyama Shigeru 初山滋　(1897-1973)

Primarily known as an illustrator of children’s books, Hatsuyama was also a successful sosaku hanga artist.

The charm and whimsy apparent in so many of Hatsuyama’s prints clearly relate to his work as a children’s illustrator.  His use of color, which is quite distinctive, may well relate to his early experiences in a dye shop.  One color which is almost a hallmark of his prints is the blue called ai, a vegetable pigment made from the plant of the same name.
