Katsunori hamanishi biography of mahatma He lived with his wife and son in Philadelphia for a year while studied and exhibiting in Pennsylvania. What looks like the result of a photo-mechanical printing process is in reality the fruit of an all hand-made and tedious creation process. Later, in and , he furthered his education at the University of Pennsylvania with a grant from a prominent US cultural institution. My account.

Among numerous exhibitons, in he held a major exhibition at the Worcester Art Museum with Hamaguchi Yozo, the mezzotint master.

Hamanishi is one of a group of Japanese artists who have explored the rich, dark, three-dimensional effects achievable with the old European mezzotint techniques. It is probably the most demanding of all printing methods, and Hamanishi has reached exceptional technical proficiency in this medium.

His early subjects-twigs, branches, rice stalks, rope- are presented in a three-dimensional form on paper. These are not produced from photographs, but each image has been painstakingly burnished on the plate. More recently he has began to introduce colour into his works of Japanese architecture and landscapes, adding metal plates or gold or silver leaf to his stunningly beautiful compositions.
