Yuichi Inoue is a Japanese Avant-Garde calligrapher. He was born in Tokyo in 1916. Graduated from the Tokyo Prefectural Aoyama Normal School (now Tokyo Gakugei University). Post graduating, he became a teacher. In 1952, along with other artists’ friend, they founded the “Bokujin-kai” (Ink People Society), he became an important representative of this post-war art movement.
