Kiyohara Keiko artbook - Copperplate engravings

Kiyohara Keiko artbook - Copperplate engravings / 145-page paperback with jacket, Japanese-language book, illustrated throughout / a super nice book which seems to drift in and out of print

From Tokyo Artbeat: "Keiko Kiyohara (1955-87) studied copperplate engraving with Yukio Fukasawa (1924-2017), a copperplate artist associated with Chiba Prefecture, and others. Fukazawa was surprised to see Kiyohara's first work and said, 'Kiyohara, you are going to be a very good copperplate artist. I can see something sparkling in your work.' True to Fukasawa's expectations, Kiyohara received the Association Prize, the highest award, at the 50th Exhibition of the Japan Print Association in 1982 and held her first solo exhibition in 1983, attracting attention early on."
