Biography Hiroshima, Shintarô (1889 - 1951)

Born in Tokushima, Hiroshima Shintarô graduated at the Japanese-style painting division of the Tokyo School of FIne Arts in 1912. He also studied at the school of Hakubakai (the White Horse Society), founded by Kuroda Seiki (1866-1924) in 1896.
In 1914 he started making woodblock prints, and he contributed to Kamen and to the only exhibition of the short-lived Nihon Sôsaku-Hanga Club in 1916. In 1920 he changed his name to Kôho. He was a member of the Nihon Sôsaku Hanga Kyôkai and of its successor, the Nihon Hanga Kyôkai. In the latter part of his career he concentrated on painting, becoming an exhibitor and juror of both the Teiten and Nitten.
