This exhibition of traditional Japanese mokuhanga woodblock prints is held in conjunction with the Third Triennial International Mokuhanga Conference (IMC2017) this year being held for the first time outside mokuhanga’s home country of Japan. The sold-out conference drawing artists from around the world will be held in Honolulu September 28 – October 1, with satellite events at Donkey Mill Art Center on Hawaii Island from October 3-8. Globalizing Mokuhanga provides our local community and visitors an opportunity to learn and experience the beauty of this traditional art form through a selection of contemporary mokuhanga prints from the permanent collection of the Mokuhanga Innovation Lab (MI-LAB) Artist in Residence program in Japan.

As an extension of the Globalizing Mokuhanga exhibition, Studio 7 Fine Arts Gallery in Holualoa Village on Hawaii Island will showcase the works of guest teaching artists Hidehiko Goto, April Vollmer and Keiko Hara.
