SUIKO OHTA

Born in 1962, she is a fourth generation Japanese Fine Arts Painter. Since the Edo period (1603-), her ancestors have been

calligraphers to the Shogun, hence she is successful as a dynamic calligrapher as well as a painter.

For two years, she studied in Switzerland and the U.S.A., giving her the opportunity to extend her experience of foreign lifestyles.

During this time, she rediscovered her fascination for traditional Japanese culture. For more than thirty years she has taught and

promoted classical Japanese painting, not only to the Japanese, but also to foreigners. Using the advantage her background gives her,

she extends her teaching to include Japanese tradition, culture and history, not solely technique.

In addition to her regular work, she supports charities by staging exhibitions to their benefit. Recently, she has cooperated with the

Ministry of Agriculture to promote Japanese Agriculture in international events in Milan and Paris.
