Japan\u2019s Women Printmakers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In October 1956, a vibrant group of contemporary etchings, relief prints, and lithographs went on display in a Tokyo gallery. This was the debut exhibition of Japan\u2019s first printmaking society for women artists, the Jory\u016b Hanga Ky\u014dkai, or the Women\u2019s Print Association. It provided a crucial vehicle for talented female printmakers working in a crowded field of male maestros. For the next decade, the nine professional women artists who founded the society would continue to stage exhibitions of their work\u2014culminating in a triumphant show in New York City in 1965\u2014before going on to pursue successful solo careers. Drawn from the Museum\u2019s permanent collection and important private collections, this exhibition unearths a critical, dynamic, and understudied episode of modern printmaking history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This exhibition presents a timely look at the careers of the group\u2019s founding members and others who joined in successive years. Many of the works by these female printmakers are now extremely rare. Only a few of the artists, mostly in their 90s, are alive today. Yet their collective body of work is as diverse as it is visually captivating. In Jory\u016b Hanga Ky\u014dkai, 1956\u20131965<\/em>, works by artists like Iwami Reika (1927-2020), Kobayashi Donge (b. 1926), Shima Tamami (1937-1999), Uchima Toshiko (1918\u20132000), and Yoshida Chizuko (1924\u20132017) demonstrate the expansive and fiercely creative vision of Japan\u2019s first women printmakers association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
