Since the time of the Ryukyu Kingdom which traded with Asian countries, Okinawa has developed its own unique culture. However, in 1932, after becoming a part of Japan, the novel “Perishing Ryukyu Women’s Memoirs” (originally titled “Sadness in a Corner”) by Okinawan-born Fusako Kushi was published in Fujin Koron and was left unfinished due to protest against its expression of Hajichi and other customs by the Okinawa Prefectural Student Association in Tokyo.
This exhibition features artists who have taken up the issue of “discrimination and prejudice against the weak” that Kushi tackled 89 years ago, and are now practicing a methodology that approaches the limits of expression in the 21st century. The exhibition features approximately 50 works by American artists with Okinawan Hawaiian roots, artists of the Okinawa Women Artists Association established in 1977, and artists who studied at the Okinawa Prefectural University of Arts.
