BIOGRAPHY
Tatsuro Kiuchi was born in Tokyo, Japan in 1966. Originally a graduate in Biology at International Christian University in Tokyo, He made the change to an art career after graduating with distinction from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. He started illustrating mostly children's books with several publishers in the US and Japan and eventually branched out into editorial work in magazines and the illustration of book jackets and advertising commissions. His first picture book "The Lotus Seed" (text by Sherry Garland / Harcourt Brace & Company) has sold more than 250,000 copies worldwide, and has been commissioned by such clients as Royal Mail to do Christmas Stamp Collection in 2006, and Starbucks for Worldwide Holiday Promotion "Pass the Cheer" in 2007.

deader than yesterday says:
"Kiuchi's illustrations are simple, yet full of Poetry. The story overflows the almost minimal compositions.
I just can't resist the charm within every frame."28th November, 2008
