Reika Iwami (1927- ) Reika Iwami was born in 1927 and graduated from the Tokyo Bunka Gakuin Art College.  She pursued the art of doll-making and doll-carving for eleven years, before becoming a printmaker in 1954.  Her subject is water and flow, and her genius lies in the almost mystical ability of being able to transmute the grain and texture of pieces of wood into visual images of patterns of water.  Her titles all reflect her preoccupation with this theme.  She executes all phases of the printmaking, cutting the blocks, inking them and rubbing the paper. Her work is very influenced by Koshiro Onchi and Sekino Jun'ichiro.  She has held numerous one-woman shows throughout Japan and Europe, and has won prizes in several international print competitions. Her works are in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art of New York (MOMA), Library of Congress, Cincinnati Art Museum, and the University of California.
