After completing his MFA in 1976, Kubo attended Morley College in London where he studied old master engravings for three years before returning to Japan. Since 1981, Kubo has been teaching printmaking himself, first at Tama and subsequently at numerous art institutions in Japan, Taiwan, and China. Fine detail is his strength: Aida Studios, which represents the artist in London, reports that Kubo is capable of engraving eleven lines in one millimetre without using a magnifying glass.
