Kojiro Kosugi (1944– ) was born in Tokyo into an artistic lineage, the grandson of the celebrated painter Hoan Kosugi.

In his youth he crossed the seas to Paris, where his work was shown at the Salon d’Automne and other prestigious venues.

For more than half a century, he has lived between France and Japan, building a body of work that unites two worlds.

His paintings often return to familiar motifs—fruits, flowers, quiet interiors, and landscapes.

Yet what he depicts is never mere object or scenery, but the subtle presence of life that breathes within silence and time.

On his canvases, a pear upon the table or a flower by the window seems to reflect the human heart itself, conveying a sense of profound serenity.

Kosugi’s art is where Eastern sensibility and Western realism meet in quiet harmony.

Though nourished by the light and rhythm of Paris, his work retains an inner lyricism rooted in the East, creating a vision that is both intimate and universal.

More than representation, it is a landscape of the soul—an invitation to contemplate, to feel, and to dwell in stillness.
