This exhibition explores diversity found in the latest Japanese prints. The exhibition focuses on space portrayed in contemporary prints: This space can be the space as the universe, outdoor (landscape) or indoor space, or even an inner space of an artists mind. During the Edo period (1600-1868), Japan produced great woodblock-print artists such as Hokusai and Hiroshige whose prints of 'famous places' are well-known in the western world. Backed by this great tradition, but not bound by it, the print makers of the 21st-century Japan render redesigned spaces viewed through their contemporary eyes. The exhibition encompasses prints in various styles and mediums, such as lithograph, aquatint and dry point, and by a diverse group of artists including women and foreigners who settled in Japan. Drawn from the collection of Mary and William Way, the exhibition will deliver the outlook on the continuing tradition of print making as one of the important artistic mediums in Japan. Exhibit Location: Orme Lewis Gallery, Phoenix Art Museum
