Hiromitsu Takahashi
Hiromitsu Takahashi was born in 1959 in Kanagawa Prefecture, sometimes known simply as Hiromitsu, is a Japanese contemporary artist, specializing in kappazuri stencil prints depicting figures from the kabuki theatre. An obvious successor to the ukiyo-e artists of the Edo period in his choice of subject (see yakusha-e, lit. " [kabuki] actor prints"), his methods and style show the strong influence of Yoshitoshi Mori, a stencil print artist whom Hiromitsu's parents served as printers.
