Biography

Miyu Isozaki (born 1999 in Shizuoka Prefecture) is an emerging Japanese lithographer based in Tokyo. She was among the early-career artists selected for the 68th CWAJ Print Show in 2025, where she showed 'animals 14,' a 25 x 25 cm lithograph dated 2025 — a selection that places her among the younger generation of Tokyo-area printmakers now beginning to circulate through Japan's principal juried print exhibitions.

Isozaki trained at Tama Art University (Tamabi), one of Japan's leading centers for printmaking pedagogy, and continued into its graduate school. Tama Art University's printmaking program has produced a sustained line of contemporary Japanese print artists and remains one of the principal entry points into contemporary Japanese print practice. At Tamabi she studied under the printmaker Kuniko Satake.

Isozaki is a member of the Japan Print Association (Nihon Hanga Kyokai), one of the principal national organizations for Japanese printmakers — a notably early affiliation for an artist in her mid-twenties. Her numbered title 'animals 14' points to an ongoing thematic series, a serial mode of working that has become common in Japanese contemporary print. In the 68th CWAJ Print Show catalog the work is recorded as Print No. 052 and marked as sold.

As an artist born in 1999, Isozaki's documented practice is still in its early years, and her presence in the CWAJ selection marks an early step in a career that is only beginning to build a public exhibition record.
