Zipang - Hot Contemporary Japanese Art

Takasaki Museum of Art

Finished

Artists

Makoto Aida, Tomoko Konoike, Akira Yamaguchi

Zipang aims to disseminate the power of Japanese contemporary art to the world while also providing an opportunity to reassess its importance within Japan itself. This exhibition features 35 works from Japan's most cutting edge artist, who while inheriting the DNA of Japan's traditional arts, grasp upon a wholly new expression, with painting, sculpture and moving image work. 700 years ago Marco Polo introduced Japan to Europe as "Zinpang - the land of gold", and this name "Zipang" has become a symbol of enchantment and surprise and it is in this selection of work from contemporary Japan that the "power of Zipang art" may make itself fully felt.
