Kojima Gyokuhō
Kojima Gyokuhō, 児嶋玉鳳 in Japanese, was a Japanese artist associated with the shin hanga movement. Little is known about the artist, except that he worked with the Kyoto City publisher Happōdō. He rejected the Western concept that art was an expression of the artist's individuality. Rather, he embraced the traditional method of producing woodblock prints through the cooperation of a designer, a woodblock carver, a printer, and a publisher. He also favored traditional Japanese subjects, such as Japanese textiles, kabuki, and ukiyo-e masterpieces.
