Katsuyuki Nishijima was born in 1945 in Yamaguchi Province, Japan. He had studied the art of woodblock printmaking at the studio of the Mikumo Publishing company in Kyoto.

The art of Katsuyuki Nishijima has one thing in common with the shin hanga movement of artists like Hasui Kawase, Tsuchiya Koitsu or Ito Shinsui. His prints show a romantic image of Japan that has little to do with reality. Views of old shop entrances in Kyoto, farmhouses with thatched roofs, old rural store houses, colorful umbrellas, old store signs, wooden bridges and stone walls. That is the world depicted by Katsuyuki Nishijima.
