is a Japanese artist working with sumi ink paintings and prints. Her art merges traditional calligraphy with modern abstract expression. A 1983 interview in ''Time'' magazine noted that “her trail-blazing accomplishments are analogous to Picasso’s”. Shinoda’s works had been exhibited in the Hague National Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago, Cincinnati Art Museum and other leading museums in the world. == Biography == Shinoda was born into a wealthy family in Dalian, Manchuria, where her father managed a tobacco factory. Two years later, her family returned to Japan. Influenced by her father's love of sumi ink painting, calligraphy and Chinese poetry, Shinoda practiced calligraphy since she was six. She had her first exhibition in her 20's. Shinoda traveled the United States from 1956 to 1958. She came into contact with the works of Jackson Pollock, which left a deep impression on her. She freed herself from the constraints of traditional calligraphy which she found "boring", to an expressive, abstract style. During her time in the United States, she had a number of exhibitions and was able to sell her work, making a name for herself. Her works were bought by Charles Laughton and John Lewis of the Modern Jazz Quartet. Shinoda also became involved in the abstract expressionist movement of the time. She returned to Japan and continues to work even after she turned 100 in March 2013. She has remained unmarried and considers herself as married to her work. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Toko Shinoda」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
