Josaku Maeda studied at the Musashino School of Art in Tokyo in 1953 and became a member of the Free Artists Association in 1955.
He exhibited his works from the early 1950s and had a solo exhibition in 1955 before coming to Paris in 1958 thanks to a scholarship awarded by the Congress for the Freedom of Culture in Japan and also took part in the exhibition of Japanese contemporary art in Australia and New Guinea.
Maeda exhibited his works several times in Paris and abroad between 1959 and 1961 while he invested himself in researches on materials adding crumpled paper on the canvas.
Working as an abstract painter he strove to depict the story of the world and man in an approach similar to that of Key Sato and exhaling the Japanese soul in his works.
