Japanese print (hanga) artists of the 1960s and 1970s, such as AY-O, IKEDA Masuo, and YAYANAGI Go, who also worked overseas, did not adhere to the established ideas about printmaking and created prints using more organic and unorthodox methods. Printmaking departments at Japanese universities traditionally taught students the entire process of creating prints, from carving to printing, but more recently, there has been an increasing number of young people who aim to express themselves in diverse ways that do not fit into the conventional mold of printmaking. Musashino Art University has even leaned into this trend, providing students with a more flexible learning environment. For instance, starting this year, the university decided to change the name of the “print (hanga)” major to “graphic arts.”
It is still fresh in our memory that last year, Prof. Endo’s work being in blue-VIII was selected by Shincho Library for a new cover of Kawabata Yasunari’s “Shonen (Boy).”
