Two very special awards, named after KEIKO KADOTA, the founder of IMC, were announced at the reception:

2017 Keiko Kadota Award for the Advancement of Mokuhanga

Hidehiko Goto

Born in Kokura, Fukukoka Prefecture in 1953, Goto studied printing and the baren under Kikuo Gosho, a printmaker, and Matashiro Uchikawa, an ukiyo-e printer. In 1979 he established the Baren Studio Kikuhide. He has been engaged in the planning and development of tools related to the baren as well as in providing direction on the baren for universities, museums and mokuhanga courses. In 2012 he started Baren-Juku, a baren class in Ginza. Goto is also an accomplished mokuhanga artist.
