Shiko Munakata

Shiko Munakata (1903-1975) was an internationally acclaimed printmaker. Munakata's single-minded devotion to his woodblocks is etched in the memories of many people. Each of the three regions where Munakata lived or based his creative activities- Aomori, Tokyo, and Toyama- had a major influence on his development as an artist.

This exhibition, commemorating the 120th anniversary of Munakata's birth and held in cooperation with museums in each region (Toyama Prefectural Museum of Art and Design, Aomori Museum of Art, and The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo), will focus on the relationship between Munakata and each region, crossing various fields such as board painting, Japanese-style painting, and oil painting, as well as bookbinding, illustrations, wrapping paper design, film, television, and radio appearances.
