80th anniversary exhibition of Japan Printmaking Association at Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum. Invited by member of the Association to exhibit.
A catalogue of the exhibition will be published with one page for each artist exhibiting.

The 80th anniversary of Prints Tokyo exhibition will consist of 118 print works from all around the world by artists recommended by members of the Japan Print Association. In addition there will be a symposium with international discussion. The association consists of 400 members, many who have international connections through solo and group exhibitions as well as workshops, symposiums, charity events and volunteer works. The association has also been encouraging members to join international programs as trainees and by such international connections we hope to hold exhibitions full of new and fresh perspectives.

"The recent Japanese earthquake, which caused profound tragedies and revealed many socio-political problems, was an event that reminded us all about the precious benefit of strong human connections. This kind of human connection was what made this collection of artworks possible; a recommender, using their own personal viewpoint to pick out artists from anywhere in the world, contacting the artists personally, framing their works, and caring for it until it is shipped back to the artist, thus creating a special bond. We believe this personal connection between the recommender and the artists themselves is one of the most important features of this exhibition."
