Shincho Library has selected fourteen prints from the CWAJ Print Show to honor the 50^th anniversary of Kawabata Yasunari’s death. Kawabata received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1968.

A special exhibition of the fourteen prints is planned for the 65th CWAJ Print Show, which is scheduled from October 19 to 23.

Please check out this good article posted on Washington Japanese Women’s Network (WJWN) magazine VIEWS No.67 about CWAJ’s activities written by one of the members, Yoko Moskowitz.  The article is in Japanese.

We had the privilege to interview the world-renowned violinist Narimichi KAWABATA, who will be performing at the charity concert scheduled for March 21, 2022.

It was lovely seeing so many of you back with us this year and a pleasure to welcome those of you who found us for the first time.
As we close the 64th CWAJ Print Show, we would like to thank our many donors, artists, customers, CWAJ members and volunteers for your generous and enthusiastic support during this unusual year when we could not present our print show in person due to COVID safety concerns. Thank you for making our CWAJ Print Show Online Gallery a wonderful success once again. Your support is always greatly appreciated!
We look forward to seeing you at the 65th CWAJ Print Show to be held at Daikanyama Hillside Forum from Oct 19thto Oct 23rd, 2022.

You can already have a sneak-peek at this year’s Print Show simply by watching the series of the videos we have prepared this year, named The Magic of the Print Making. The series is comprised of six videos, each featuring the work of one artist and theirs unique production process. Why do they go to all that trouble? Why not just paint or draw? Preparing the plate requires planning, creativity and expertise, and then the printing is an art in itself. When you watch these artists at work, you will understand why they are dedicated to printmaking, and why every impression is an original work of art. Linocut by HIROTA
