BEAUTY OF MOKUHANGA:

Discipline & Sensibility

木版画の美:修練と感性

The IMC2017 Hawaii Local Committee is thrilled to announce the selections for the International Juried Exhibition “Beauty of Mokuhanga: Discipline & Sensibility” 木版画の美:修練と感性 which includes a mokuhanga print section and a hand-printed artists’ book section. This is the central exhibition of the Third International Mokuhanga Conference which will be held for the first time outside Japan. To celebrate the expansion of this conference the exhibition is designed to bridge times, places, generations and disciplines through a celebration of the tradition of mokuhanga. The conference will nurture the discipline of mokuhanga and its special sensibility in order to foster innovative use of this traditional technique. The exhibition will help us understand the depth of the history of mokuhanga and promote the study and practice of mokuhanga printmaking in the global art community.
