Written in 1976 for the catalog and reproduced as printed, with spelling corrected. Not current.

Born in 1937 in Tailen City, Manchuria, Kurosaki was graduated in 1962 from the Kyoto Technical University of Design, and has rapidly found a place of distinction in the international art community. His work is owned by the Seattle First National Bank, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Uffizi Galleria, the Kyoto National Modern Art Museum, the Tokyo National Modern Art Museum, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Honolulu Art Museum, and the Museum of Modern Art, among others.

Kurosaki became a member of the Japan Print Association in 1969 and the Kokuga-Kai Association in 1970. He has exhibited at the Japanese Graphic Art Exhibition in London in 1973, and had one-man shows in Warsaw and Krakow in 1972. His work was included in the Buenos Aires International Print Biennial in 1972, and the International Print Biennial in West Germany in 1972, as well as collections in Seoul, Paris, Florence, and Capri.
