BIOGRAPHY


No information is available about this artist who was a member of Tadashige Ono's (1909-1990) Han no kai 版の会 (Print Society) formed in 1960 to nurture younger artists.1 The Society continued throughout Tadashige's lifetime and, perhaps, beyond. 


Koga worked in a straight forward representational style with many of his/her works being printed in black and black gradations.  


1 Tadashige's Han no kai should not be confused with Takei Takeo's Han no kai ("Hazlenut" Society) formed  around 1935.
