Forty works by modernist Koshiro Onchi (1891-1955), an artist who led the contemporary Japanese art world from the early Taisho period to mid Showa period.
In 1924, Onchi started the magazine "Tsukuhae" with Kyokichi Tanaka and Shizuo Fujimori while still in school. "Tsukuhae" featured their prints and poems. After graduating from the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music (then Tokyo National University of Fine Arts), he started to integrate Western modernism into his work to create modern and metropolitan wood block prints.
