The artist Suzuki Kenji ran through the difficult times of the Showa era as a printmaker, sculptor and manga artist. He looked at rural people and urban workers with a warm look, hoping for peace, and standing by the people who live hard, and continued to portray this image throughout his life.

"HIGH PERFORMANCE VANDALISM. ALWAYS PRESENTING A SENSE OF FRESHNESS"
I believe that fashion is a strong reflection of the civility of the times and should be the case.
It must always be avant-garde.
In order to express our own "fashion," we have set strong themes for the era,
He creates avant-garde and "playful" clothes while repeatedly affirming and negating classical things.
[Suzuki Kenji]
Suzuki Kenji (1906-1987), who portrayed the public vibrantly with lively people, went through the difficult times of Showa era as a printmaker, sculptor, and manga artist. Its excellent avant-garde design makes its presence felt in modern art history.
Born in Tochigi-cho, Shimotsuga-gun, Tochigi Prefecture (now Tochigi City), and later led the postwar print movement in the Northern Kanto region, Suzuki Kenji entered the sculpture department of Tokyo Art School (now Tokyo University of the Arts) in 1925, and became passionate about the proletarian art movement, showing his talent for expressing his character through manga and sketches.
After returning to Tochigi around the end of 1932, he became a sculptor and eventually became a member of the Third Subcommittee, and attempted to challenge a wide range of fields, including crafts and etching production.
After World War II, he produced many woodblock prints that were involved in social movements, and worked in an international spread, not only within Japan, but also in China and the former Soviet Union. With this print with a strong message, he pursued peace and continued to stand by the side of people who were living hard.
Although sometimes at the mercy of the times, he was an artist who had a warm look at rural people and urban workers throughout his life, and continued to take a merciless view of lively children.
