I believe this guy is from Awa and been around a while.

 

I've seen some of his works from the 1980s and 1990s.

Didn't like the 1980s work. Did really like some of the 1990s work.

 

Two decades later, is he still working and has anyone an example of his work?

Has he any chance of Mukansa?

 

If there is a bio for him, please point me at it or post it here.

 

Thank you,

 

Curran

Thank you Markus. That fits perfectly.

 

If born in 1927 and still alive, he's approaching 90 years of age.

If I remember correctly, he won a price in 2007 at the annual competition. That would place him at 80.

 

If Chris Bowen or others more knowledgeable about modern Tosho can comment, is it safe to Sugiyama-san will never be Mukansa?

At his current age, it seems that time has past him by and he won't achieve that recognition (the general 'such is life').
