Tetsuro Sawada was a printmaker and painter who was born in Hokkaido, Japan.  His medium is primarily the silkscreen print or serigraph (see AskART glossary); early in his career he also did some abstract oil painting and lithographs.  His subjects are landscapes and skyscapes; he has been called "The Skyscape Artist".  His style is semi geometric abstraction, focusing on hard edged horizontal lines, colour, light and his unique technique of shading called "bokashi"
