PROSPECTUS
 
The IMC2017 Hawaii Local Committee is thrilled to announce a call for entries for the International Juried Exhibition “Beauty of Mokuhanga: Discipline & Sensibility” 木版画の美: 修練と感性 which will include a mokuhanga print section and a hand printed artists’ book section. This is the central exhibition of the Third International Mokuhanga Conference which will be held for the first time outside Japan in Hawaii in 2017. To celebrate the expansion of this conference the exhibition is designed to bridge times, places, generations and disciplines through a celebration of the tradition of mokuhanga. The conference will nurture the discipline of mokuhanga and its special sensibility in order to foster innovative use of this traditional technique. The exhibition will help us to see, feel and hear in order to understand the depth of the history of mokuhanga and to promote the study and practice of mokuhanga printmaking in the global art community.
