The now-defunct PingMag has a great interview with a 97-year old guy from Yokohama who pioneered what we now call botanical art. His name is Chikabo Kumada; he was on track to become a graphic designer when, at age 26, he decided he'd rather work on children's books. "I love children," he says. "That’s why I started doing it. That was where my years of impoverishment began."
