Ryosuke Cohen
Cohen discovered mail art through the Canadian artist Byron Black. Early work by Cohen is a mixture of traditional Japanese imagery, contemporary icons, and numbers, as well as his signature, the letter "C". In 1997 Guy Bleus organised a solo exhibition of Cohen's mail art work at the "E-Mail Art Archives" in the Centre for Visual Arts (now Z33) in Hasselt (Belgium). Cohen's family name is conventionally romanized as Kōen, but on the advice of a friend, he adopted the English spelling 'Cohen'. He is not a Kohen.
