Yayoi Kusama
Ms. Kusama teamed up with the Adachi Institute’s carvers and printers to create her first-ever ukiyo-e, traditional Japanese woodcut prints that continue to be highly acclaimed around the world today. This collaboration was covered in “The Premium: Yayoi Kusama’s Mt. Fuji — Challenging Ukiyo-e,” a program aired on NHK BS Premium on New Year’s Day 2015. The response from all sectors was overwhelming.
Ms. Kusama is in the limelight internationally for her artworks that consistently exceed the imagination. By collaborating with her, the Adachi Institute of Woodcut Prints was able to identify possibilities for fresh, new artistic expressions amid tradition, a key for passing down traditional woodcut print techniques to future generations. As the results of this collaboration between avant-garde and tradition, Ms. Kusama’s contemporary ukiyo-e are exhibited here for the first time.
