Introduce: Through more than 70 years of activity, Toko Shinoda pioneered the realm of unique abstract expression with ink from avant-garde books, and continued to explore while protecting the position of loneliness.
Born in Dalian, China and raised in Tokyo, Shinoda devoted himself to the world of calligraphy in search of an independent way of life. Shortly after the war, he moved to New York alone over the age of 40 and greatly expanded his field of activity.
