Woodblock. Born 1935, Gunma Prefecture. Became Saito Kiyoshi's assistant 1958. Saito is considered one of the finest woodblock artists of the twentieth century.

During his time with Saito Kiyoshi, Ohtsu has two major exhibitions, but it was not until Saito passed away in 1997 that Ohtsu became his own artist. He has held many one-man exhibitions throughout Japan since then. Although Ohtsu's works are somewhat reminiscent of Saito's prints, in particular the snow scenes of rural Japan, Ohtsu has been developing his own appealing imagery of serene settings. Ohtsu's prints bear witness not only to the long tradition of woodblock printmaking in Japan, but with over forty years' experience in this medium,
to his own superlative technical skills.
