Kwaidan— Encounters with Lafcadio Hearn

Yaizu Lafcadio Hearn Memorial Museum
Finished
The exhibition "Kwaidan," based on Patrick Lafcadio Hearn's work and organized by the Blue Moon Projects working group of Irish artists, showcases the interpretations of 40 artists from Ireland and Japan. Inspired by Hearn's "Kwaidan," the artists use prints and photographs to express themes such as the sanctity of death, fear, and inevitability depicted in the tales. The exhibition aims to celebrate Hearn's literature, strengthen cultural ties between Japan and Ireland, and promote cultural exchange through contemporary art.
