Bakufu Ohno (1888-1976) was primarily a painter who, unlike most members of the Shin Hanga movement, utilized skilled carvers and woodblock print makers to create his prints. His early lack of prominence in Europe & America may be attributed to the fact that his Kyoto publisher did not pursue active export to the West, as did the Wantanabe publishing house of Shin Hanga in Tokyo
