More about the artist:

Hiroshi Tagami, late 20th Century, was born in Hawaii during the Depression years. He specializes in abstracts, landscapes, and still life works.

As one of twelve children, he had a Father who died at an early age. This forced him to spend a good deal of his youth working on Oahu plantations to help support his family during those lean times.

As a young adult Tagami enlisted in the military and served the United States during the Korean conflict. When returning home to Hawaii be began and operated a successful photography business for several years.

In 1964 he used his G.I. bill benefits to enroll at the Honolulu Academy of Arts. He began his professional art career at that time. He was the Founder and operator of the Botanical Gardens and Gallery on Oahu for several years. In 1998 he teamed up with Michael Powell, another Hawaiian artist to own and operate Tagami & Powell Fine Art Gallery on the Big Island, in Waimea, at the Kamuela Inn.

A prolific artist, using the palette knife technique, he has created over 6000 images over the years. His works are in public and private collections worldwide. His works are in the permanent collections of the AMFAC Corporation, Bank of Hawaii, State Foundation of Culture and the Arts (Hawaii), and the Walter Cecil Rawls Museum in Southhampton County, Virginia. Over the years he has instructed some of Hawaii's finest young artistic talent.

Shipping:  Although Hawaii is part of the United States, it is important to know when purchasing items that shipping times can be a bit longer and shipping charges can be a bit higher than for the US mainland. Please keep this in mind when rating my shipping charges and handling times, as your ratings have immediate discount or listing-standing consequences for me. Thank you for understanding!!! 

Packing material:  I charge you my costs for all packing materials used.  However, this is Hawaii and not the continental US, and everything has to be shipped in from out of state.  To give you an idea, a shipping box, if it is not a free one from the Post Office, costs between $4 - $9.  Bubble wrap costs $1 per foot and I usually use at least 3 or 4 feet or more for breakable items. Foam chips per box (book box size) will be between $8 - $10, and packing tape costs me $3 a small roll.
