Kan Yasuda was born in the city of Bibai on Japan's island Hokkaido in 1945. He received a master's degree of sculpture from Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music and then moved to Italy to study in the Academy Of Arts in Rome. Afterwards he set up his studio at Pietrasanta in northern Italy, a place known for the great marble quarries.
