Exhibition Concept:

Sado Island, where Mr. Shinichi Takahashi laid the foundation for it to become an island of printmaking. We are pleased to present a group exhibition by four artists deeply involved in printmaking on this island, each pursuing new expressions with their unique sensibilities.

Among them are artists who delve deeply into traditional woodblock printing techniques to delicately depict nature and human activities; artists who, while rooted in woodblock printing, incorporate diverse materials and techniques to explore free expression; and artists who reinterpret the traditional aesthetics of woodblock printing from a contemporary perspective, pioneering new frontiers.

Through their diverse and individual expressions, we hope you will experience the varied beauty of printmaking nurtured on this island, the rich creativity it fosters, and the diverse possibilities it holds for the future.
