Not much is known about Ônuma Chiyuki, apart from the fact that he was active in 1950's. His most important work seems to have been a series of 12 portraits of young women (one for each month of the year), produced for the Tokyo Publisher Sobunsha, under the supervision of mastercarver Maeda Kentarô, who started in the 1930s, and who was active until the early 60's.
