Suiko Fukuda is from the circle of Kyoto painters and printmakers, where he was born and where he studied Japanese-style painting at the Kyoto School of Fine Arts and Crafts. The artist contributed regularly to Bunten and Teiten. Woodblocks known from Suiko Fukuda are rare and show bird subjects drawn in a realistic and traditional style. Suiko was a well respected Kyoto artist. He produced excellent flower and bird works in the traditional Japanese style painting.
Studied Japanese style painting with Nishiyama Suisho. Exhibited paintings with Teiten and Shin Bunten.
After the war, he left behind many excellent works as a hero of the Kyoto art world, with the Nitten as his stage. He is also called "Hawk Suiko".
In 1949, Unsodo published a reprint of the original single edition (Showa 11). Fukuda is less known on western market but much appreciated in Japan.
