Timeline
Mitsumasa Anno (安野 光雅) was a Japanese illustrator and writer of children's books, known best for picture books with few or no words.
Anno was born in 1926 in Tsuwano, a small town in Shimane Prefecture, Japan and grew up there.
As a student at a regional high school, he studied art, drawing, and the writings of Hermann Hesse.
During World War II, Anno was drafted into the Japanese army.
After the war, Anno earned a degree from the Yamaguchi Teacher Training College (a predecessor of Yamaguchi University) in 1948.
He taught mathematics for ten years in an elementary school in Tokyo before beginning a career illustrating children's books.
Anno lived in Japan with his wife, Midori.
They had two children, Masaichiro and Seiko.
He received the international Hans Christian Andersen Medal in 1984 for his "lasting contribution to children's literature."
Anno received the illustration award in 1984.
He died on 24 December 2020 from cirrhosis of the liver.
Anno was best known for wordless picture books featuring small, detailed figures.
In the "Journey" books, a tiny character travels through a nation's landscape, densely populated with pictures referencing that country's art, literature, culture, and history.
Anno's illustrations are often in pen and ink and watercolor, and occasionally incorporate collage and woodcuts.
They are intricately detailed, showing a sense of humor as well as an interest in science, mathematics, and foreign cultures.
They frequently incorporate subtle jokes and references.
Anno's style has been compared to that of M. C. Escher.
Although he was best known for his children's books, his paintings have earned recognition in his native Japan.
In Tsuwano the Mitsumasa Anno Museum houses a collection of his works.
The biennial Hans Christian Andersen Award conferred by the International Board on Books for Young People is the highest recognition available to a writer or illustrator of children's books.
