This exhibition shows diverse approaches to travel through the work of 12 British artists on this theme, an important element of British culture. The Japanese have been fascinated with the paintings of Turner since the Meiji period and have a special fondness for the sculpture of Moore. They have also responded positively to the work of such artists as Bernard Leach, David Hockney, David Nash, and Andy Goldsworthy, who came to Japan and were attracted to its natural environment and culture. This will be an opportunity to learn more about the fruitful cultural exchange between Japan and England from early modern times to the present. It will be one of the events included in "UK-Japan 2008".
