His Dali, Fuji

   Tiger was born in Fukuoka in 1941.

   In 1963, he submitted a large collage to the 15th Yomiuri Independent Exhibition, which received much attention. Subsequently he went on to be heavily influenced by Pop Art, which he aptly converted to address aspects of Japanese everyday life as well as the country’s current issues.

   From the mid 60s, he gradually began to draw cartoons.

   In 1969 he moved to Italy, where he worked for Olivetti typewriters as a designer, while finding time to exhibit his paintings at such places as Alexander Iolas gallery.

   From the mid 80’s his work began to feature epitomizing motifs of Japan, such as Mt. Fuji.

   In 1998, he passed away in Chiba prefecture.
