Hiroyuki Tajima

In 1943, he graduated from the Western-style painting division of the Tokyo School of Fine Arts.

He created his first print in 1946, and joined the Bijutsu Bunka Kyokai (a group of abstract and surrealist artists) the same year.

He also studied Nagase Yoshi (1891–1978), an artist of the Sōsaku-hanga school.

In 1963, he became a member of the Nihon Hanga Kyokai (Japanese Print Association).

He is best known for his totally abstract prints with broad areas of rich dense color.
