Osamu Sugiyama wurde 1946 in Tokio geboren. Er absolvierte die Yoshida Hanga Akademie, eine renommierte Schule fur japanischen Holzschnitt. Sein Lehrer war Toshi Yoshida, der alteste Sohn von Hiroshi Yoshida. Toshi Yoshida unterrichtete japanische und internationale Studenten in der Kunst des Holzschnitts, bis er Anfang der 1990er Jahre schwer erkrankte und 1995 verstarb. Osamu Sugiyama verbindet seine beiden groen Leidenschaften: das Bergsteigen und die Kunst des Farbholzschnitts. Seine Werke fangen seine Erlebnisse, Eindrucke und Erinnerungen von Expeditionen rund um die Welt ein. Die Faszination fur Berglandschaften, die in der japanischen Druckgrafik eine lange Tradition hat, fuhrt Osamu Sugiyama konsequent fort. Er widmet sich in seiner kunstlerischen Arbeit ausschlielich der Berglandschaft. Er bestieg Berge in Japan, Nepal, der Schweiz und Italien und lie sich von ihrem unverwechselbaren Charakter inspirieren. Sugiyama blieb ein aktives Mitglied der Yoshida Hanga Akademie. Die Akademie unterstutzt ihre Kunstler durch regelmaige Ausstellungen und fordert den Austausch unter Holzschnittkunstlern. Sein Debut gab er im Oktober 2005 auf der 50-Jahr-Jubilaumsausstellung der renommierten CWAJ Print Exhibition in Tokio. Die Ausstellung brachte ihm groe Anerkennung und festigte seinen Ruf als auergewohnlicher japanischer Grafiker. Die Faszination fur Berglandschaften hat in der japanischen Druckgrafik eine lange Tradition

This small book has been put together at the request of the ardent railfan in the family, who happened to see one of these interesting prints. It is intended for teaching such younger railfans not only in history, but also science and art and the commentary and criticism is kept at this level. This work does not presume to be in any way exhaustive of the railroad subject. Japan's railroads started with two miniature steam locomotives introduced from abroad. The first arrived in Nagasaki on a Russian ship in 1853, while the second came to Yokohama in 1854 aboard one of Commodore Perry's black ships. Ukiyo-e artists especially Hiroshige III began churning out colorful and sometimes fanciful renderings of the bizarre smoke-belching machines. The father showing a locomotive to his son is very charming. Later followed prints with locomotives overturned in the Great Kanto Earthquake and a Russian locomotive that had gone through the ice on Lake Baikal during he Russo-Japanese War. After this trains came to occupy Japanese prints and Japanese art much in the same way European artists have always adored them. The authors include a few examples of other art work, ending with Shinkansen.
