Meet Richard Steiner
Steiner was born in Saginaw, Michigan, in 1939. After working as a fashion photographer in New York City, he left the United States at the height of the Vietnam War.
From 1970 to 1960, he studied woodblock printmaking under Masahiko Tokumitsu in Hiroshima. He is married to Kimiko Kuroda, who is a well published translator. They live in Kyoto, where the large number of art collages and universities makes the city seem a little like Boston (while Tokyo is more like New York). Steiner's teaching stints have supported a simple artist's lifestyle and have the prices of his works extremely reasonable. Steiner also makes books and binds them by hand.
Steiner is ambidextrous, he sometimes works with one of a dozen blades and knives in each hand.
His website, http://www.richard-steiner.net/ gives a good overview of his work.
