Detail: Imayō: Japan’s New Traditionists, a two-part exhibition held at the University of Hawai‘i Art Gallery and the Honolulu Museum of Art, examines the inspirational power of historical Japanese art and craft traditions. Six contemporary artists with a shared interest in the history and technical mastery of Japan’s rich pre-20th-century art and craft traditions reveal how this heritage is transformational, with the potential to renew and reinvigorate the familiar and conventional.
