Benji Asada was a prominent Japanese painter and printmaker known for his contributions to the Sosaku Hanga (Creative Prints) movement. He was born in 1899 in Kameoka, near Kyoto, with the original family name Nakanishi. He studied at the Kyoto City School of Fine Arts and Crafts and the Kyoto City Specialist School of Painting, where he was influenced by his teacher Nishimura Goun. Initially focused on painting, Asada also created woodblock prints, participating actively in the Kyoto and Tokyo art scenes. He was a founding member of the Kyoto Sôsaku-Hanga Kyôkai in 1929 and was known for both his Sosaku Hanga and Shin Hanga works. Asada’s prints, which often depicted serene landscapes and natural scenes, were published by Uchida in the 1950s. After World War II, he shifted his focus entirely to Nihonga, a traditional Japanese painting style. In 1959 he received the Minister of Education's Prize at the Second Shin Nitten Exhibition. In 1965 he won the Japan Art Academy Prize and served as an adviser for official fine arts exhibitions. He passed away in his studio in 1984.
