The city had a concentration of art and architectural resources to which he was exposed. At Kyoto Municipal University of Art, Ida received Western-style academic training, a trend in occupied Japan immediately after the war. He discovered his heritage during the late 1960*s while spending three years in Paris, and in New York where he lived two years later. In 1974 he returned to Kyoto where he resides currently (1997), and travels extensively.~EDUCATION: Completed Post Graduate course in Oil Painting Department, Kyoto Municipal University of Art (1965)~SCHOLARSHIPS/AWARDS include:~-Government of France (1968)~-Japan Society (1974)~-Asian Cultural Council, New York (1986)~-The Hitachi Foundation, Washington, DC (1986)~-The Commission for the Centennial of Washington State, Centrum Foundation, Seattle~~~~~ONE PERSON EXHIBITIONS include:~1990-1997~1980-1989~1985 Retrospective, Hara Museum, Tokyo~~~Reference: Kathan Brown, Painters and Sculptors at Crown Point Press: ink, paper, metal, wood (Chronicle Books, San Francisco, 1996).~Catalogue: Karin Breuer, Ruth E.
