Funasaka Yoshisuke was born in 1939 in Gifu prefecture, son of the watercolor painter Funasaka Masayoshi. He graduated in 1962 from the painting division of Tama College of Fine Arts and began making woodblock prints about 1966.
-
Funasaka studied in England and the U.S. in 1976–1977 under a Japanese government fellowship. He was a member of Nihon Hanga Kyōkai from 1969 and of Shun’yōkai. He exhibited at international print biennales at Pistoia, Ljubljana, Bradford, Grenchen, Frechen, and elsewhere as well as Tokyo.
-
Funasaka's early prints were made with linoleum blocks; later he combined woodblocks with silkscreen. From 1957 until the mid-1970s he consistently included the shape of a lemon in his imagery. After abandoning the lemon he combined small brightly colored shapes, printed with woodblocks, onto large areas of silkscreened color.
