Shoji Miyamoto

“I've been creating woodcut prints using traditional Japanese techniques, through which

unique perspective casts some familiar objects in a new light. The focus of my work is foods such as

sushi and fruit. We eat them without paying much attention to the colors or shapes, which in fact are

very interesting when you observe them carefully. I desire to express such unrealized interest in my

works.”

-Shoji Miyamoto

Shoji Miyamoto graduated from Osaka University of Arts’ Fine Arts department with a concentration

in woodcuts. He has participated in group shows in Kyoto and Tokyo since 2008.
