Tetsuya Noda (野田 哲也, Noda Tetsuya, born 5 March 1940) is a contemporary artist, printmaker and educator.[3] He is widely considered to be Japan’s most important living print-artist,[4] and one of the most successful contemporary print artists in the world.[5] He is a professor emeritus of the Tokyo University of the Arts.[6] Noda is most well-known for his visual autobiographical works done as a series of woodblock, print, and silkscreened diary entries that capture moments in daily life. His innovative method of printmaking involves photographs scanned through a mimeograph machine and then printed the images over the area previously printed by traditional woodblock print techniques onto the Japanese paper. Although this mixed-media technique is quite prosaic today, Noda was the first artist to initiate this breakthrough. Noda is the nephew of Hideo Noda an oil painter and muralist.[7]
