Having developed a deep interest in eighteenth century Japanese art and culture at an early age, she began studying Japanese woodblock prints whilst training as an artist in the 1980s. In 1986 she came under the tutelage of eminent scholar Jack Hillier and under his guidance began in depth research into the works of Kitagawa Utamaro. More than two decades of passionate study resulted in the publication of two groundbreaking works: 'Utamaro Revealed: A Guide to Subjects, Themes & Motifs', in 2008, and 'The Complete Woodblock Prints of Kitagawa Utamaro: A Descriptive Catalogue', in 2009. Keen to promote an understanding of the subjects encountered when looking at Japanese prints, Gina lectures on eighteenth century Japanese art, history and culture and maintains a popular blog dedicated to the same area of interest. Gina is also the author of two satirical novels: 'The Wonderful Demise of Benjamin Arnold Guppy' and 'The Delightful Undoing of Patricia Enid Guppy'. She is currently working on an historical novel set in eighteenth century Japan. http://www.ginacolliasuzuki.com/japanese... http://www.ginacolliasuzuki.com/benjamin... http://www.ginacolliasuzuki.com/all_thin...
