Yozo Hamaguchi (1909–2000) was a Japanese printmaker internationally recognized for reviving and modernizing the mezzotint technique in the twentieth century. Born in Wakayama, Japan, he studied at the Tokyo Art School before moving to France in 1930, where he became acquainted with leading artists and writers, including e.e. cummings. Returning to Japan during World War II, he developed a distinctive monochromatic style and later introduced color and abstraction into his work. Hamaguchi received numerous international awards, including the Grand Prize at the 1957 São Paulo Biennial, and represented Japan at the 1960 Venice Biennale. Known for his refined still life compositions and subtle tonal effects, he lived and worked in Paris, San Francisco, and Tokyo throughout his career.
