    Kunio Kaneko was born in Tokyo in 1949. Kunio Kaneko graduated from the Musashino University of Fine Arts. His woodblocks are pressed by traditional Japanese Baren, not by a pressing machine. Some are monotypes; with some, he uses gold leaf on colored paper. He has had several solo shows in Tokyo, Kanagawa, and one in New York. His works also have been part of group shows in Tokyo, Kyoto, Chiba, and Kanagawa as well as in Seoul, Korea.

    Kunio Kaneko initially presents himself as an artist specializing in small print formats. In Japan, where compact living spaces are common, there's a preference for smaller prints in home decor — a trend reflected in Kaneko's artistry. A protégé of Joichi Hoshi, Kaneko captivates art enthusiasts globally with his intricate technique, lush printmaking style, and captivating portrayal of Japanese subjects. Kaneko is an esteemed member of the prestigious Japan Print Association, a testament to his standing within the artistic community.
