Koizumi Junsaku

Koizumi Junsaku (小泉 淳作?, born 1924) is a noted Japanese painter and pottery artist.[1]

Koizumi was born in Kamakura, Kanagawa in 1924, and in 1952 graduated from Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music (also known as Geidai; 芸大). He has held a number of gallery shows in Japan, and has painted remarkable images on the ceilings of the Kennin-ji temple in Kyoto (2002), and Kenchō-ji temple in Kamakura (2003). He is a member of no particular school, and his ink paintings (suibokuga) of Japan's mountains have received critical acclaim.
