Description	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 artist’s 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.
