Katsuyuki Nishijima was born in 1945 in the Yamaguchi Province of Japan. From 1964 to 1968 he studied the art of woodblock prints in the studio of the Mikumo Publishing House in Kyoto, exhibiting his work with many Kyoto-based independent artists and in solo displays. From 1972 onward he has focused his immense talents on limited edition woodblocks using traditional old buildings as his main subject matter. He rarely includes people in his works, preferring to focus on the countryside and the structures to simultaneously explore man’s contributions to his surroundings, as well as his intense isolation in doing so. His work style is akin to the shin hanga (“new prints”) movement led by earlier artists like Hasui Kawase and Hiroshi Yoshida, who portrayed romanticized visions of Japan with subtle hints at the growing sense of alienation consuming the population in the 20th Century and the post-War period. Unlike many of his contemporaries, however, Nishijima routinely deliberately excludes modern elements like cars, telephone wires, or other technological achievements, imbuing his scenes with a sense of timelessness while embracing modern traditions.
