UMETARO, AZECHI was
Born in the Small Town of Uwajima in Ehime Province on the Island of
Shikoku in 1902. Throughout his youth he Dreamed of Being an Artist and
at about 18 years of age he purchased an Art Course by Correspondence.
Two years later he moved to Tokyo and supported himself delivering
newspapers while trying to complete this course. Later he worked in a
Government printing office and whilst working there he began to teach
himself the art of engraving plates using the equipment in the plant.
After meeting some other woodblock artists he left his employment to
work fulltime at the woodblock form but only managed to live a very
meager lifestyle until after the Second World War when he managed to
exhibit some of his work and gain acceptance as a serious artist. Later
he was asked to exhibit in International shows in San Paulo and Lugano
and now his work is housed in Many International Art Galleries and
Museums.
