In March 2013, Toko Shinoda regarded as one of Japan’s greatest artists of the 20th Century, turned 100 years old. She lives in Tokyo where she continues to produce powerful paintings.
Hanga Ten’s exhibition, “Toko Shinoda: A New Century” brings together a selection of Shinoda’s limited edition lithographs and paintings over the past four decades, and celebrates Shinoda’s entry into her second century. We are delighted to be able to bring this show during Japan 400.
Hanga Ten, which means the Shop of Prints in Japanese, has been instrumental in introducing contemporary Japanese print artists to the UK for the last fifteen years. Printmaking in Japan has been embedded in its country’s history since the 8th century, but it was in the Edo period that woodcut prints came into their prime. It is therefore most appropriate to showcase the contemporary artists, including Toko Shinoda, who have instilled their own techniques into this traditional art form, and Japan 400 is a most opportune time to celebrate their works.
