Sumio Kawakami

Born in 1895, Sumio Kawakami was an English teacher and a self-taught Hanga Artist. At the age of 22, he lived in America and Canada doing small jobs before moving back to Japan to where he became an English teacher and his art career started. In the 1960’s Sumio gained recognition, which led to his artwork featured in many exhibits and a museum devoted solely to Sumio’s work was created.
