Agreed, he is my favorite as well. There is something so cinematic about every one of his images.

No argument there.

For fans of California and the Bay Area, Tom Killion is a local hero as well.

Check out Chiura Obata. His Yosemite prints are stunning.

A fellow Shin Hanga-era fan! There are dozens of us!

Hasui is excellent, but Shiro Kasamatsu is my undisputed favorite. Something about the way he does buildings, and the dramatic colors, is exactly aimed at me.
