Tokuda Akira とくだあきら, 1946-
Akira Tokuda was born in Manchuria, China, in 1946. He graduated from the Kuwazawa Design
Institute, Tokyo, in 1968. His work is abstract—expertly using bold colors to create
simple yet sophisticated prints. He uses an etching and embossing technique
with hand applied pastels. His work is then printed onto thick
handmade paper to create a rich textural surface.
