Seiko Kawachi was born in 1948 Yamanashi, Japan and graduated from Tama Art University in 1973. Before his graduation at the age of 22 he won the award of the New Printer's Prize at the 38th Japan Print Association Exhibition in 1970.
He went on to realize various successful solo exhibitions in Tokyo, Antwerp, Belgium, Taipei and others. Over time he has also participated in numerous national & international group exhibitions.
During his career he has been awarded many national and international prizes and today his work is held in many Japanese public Museums and Galleries, as well as among others in the British Museum, the State Museum of Oriental Art in Moscow.
The basis of Kawachi's importance in Japanese art history (Contrary to his significance in the international art-scene) is his creative skill with the woodblock medium.
Woodblock printing is the technique in which Japan's graphic art has flourished since its great expansion in the 17th century. Indeed, until the Meiji period almost no other technique was used, with the exception of some minor experiments in copper engraving and etching during the Edo period, but which produced no work of outstanding merit.
Woodblock printing is the traditional medium for Japanese graphics, and to lose touch with this great Japanese tradition, would be like to be cut off from the Japanese way of life.
