Toshihiro Katayama
Born in Osaka in 1928. Due to WWII and the desolate situation in Japan, he became a self-taught artist and designer, who began working at age 17. In 1963, he became Art Director for the Swiss corporation Geigy. After three years in Europe, he received an invitation to teach and design at Harvard’s Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts. Currently he is professor of the Practice of Graphic Design at Harvard University, Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies.
