Our ukiyo-e illustrated by Masumi Ishikawa will be on show at the exhibition New Japanese Aesthetics: Manga Creation, hosted by Hankyu Umeda Department Store.
The seven prints featuring KISS, Iron Maiden, and David Bowie will be exhibited alongside works by legendary manga artists such as Tezuka Osamu (author of Astro Boy), and Koyama Chuya (author of Space Brothers). As ukiyo-e are considered to be the origin of the manga we know today, we are thrilled for our contemporary ukiyo-e to be exhibited together with the works of such iconic artists.
Please drop by if you are in the area.
Exhibition period: March 24 - April 5
Time: 10:00 - 20:00 (closes at 18:00 on the final day)
Place: Hankyu Umeda Department Store, 9F Art Stage (Osaka, Japan)

UKIYO-E EXHIBITIONS @ MAK MUSEUM IN VIENNA
To celebrate the 150th anniversary of Austro-Japanese friendship, the MAK Vienna will be holding two exhibitions from the 25th: "KUNIYOSHI +" dedicated to the artist's works, and "UKIYOENOW", where all our ukiyo-e will be shown alongside prints by Andrew Archer. It is a great honor to announce that all of our works have been purchased by the MAK this year to be part of their collection, and that they will be exhibited at a show that commemorates such a historic event. We will be holding demonstrations with a traditional printer from Japan and talk shows on the 26th, so please join us if you are in the area.
