Tetsuya Noda(?? ?? Noda Tetsuya) (born 5 March 1940) is a contemporary artist, printmaker and educator.
He is widely considered to be Japan’s most important living print-artist.
He is a professor emeritus of the Tokyo University of the Arts.
Noda is most well-known for his visual autobiographical works done as a series of woodblock, print, and silkscreened diary entries that capture moments in daily life.
His innovative method of printmaking involves photographs scanned through a mimeograph machine and then printed using traditional woodblock techniques on a wood-engraving background.
Although this mixed-media technique is quite prosaic today, Noda was the first artist to initiate this breakthrough.
Noda is the nephew of Hideo Noda an oil painter and muralist.
