Kusaka Kenji (日下賢二) was born in Tsuyama in Okayama prefecture in 1936. Starting in 1950, he learned the basics of printmaking from Nagare Koji (born 1905), a member of the Nihon Hanga-in (Japanese Print Institute), who taught in Okayama. At that time, Kusaka designed landscapes and still lifes, as well as occasional portraits and scenes of farm life (where he grew up).
Prints by Kusaka Kenji can be found in important public institutions, including British Museum, London; Cleveland Museum of Art; Colorado State Museum of Modern Art, Denver; Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco; Honolulu Museum of Art; Kanagawa Prefectural Museum; Library of Congress, Washington, D.C.; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Museum of Modern Art, New York; National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo; Tokyo Metropolitan Museum.
