Tsugio Hattori was born in Japan and studied mechanical engineering,
technical illustration, design and fine arts. Despite emigrating to the
United States in 1981 Hattori's style is still distinctively Japanese.
Using a range of techniques the artist's strength lies in his
compositions and the sense of tranquillity they seem to convey. His
works such as the 'Silk Road' series have been exhibited in a number of
exhibitions around the world.
