CWAJ to hold print exhibition & sale for scholarships and Fukushima relief projects

CWAJ (College Women's Association of Japan) will hold "Intimate Dimensions," a special print exhibition and sale at the Frederick Harris Gallery, Tokyo American Club, from Sept 27 to Oct 16.

This specially curated show has assembled 80 contemporary Japanese prints by 35 acclaimed artists, ranging from 24-year-old Printmaker Award winner Hiroyuki Omori to the 103-year-old abstract calligrapher Toko Shinoda. Their works encompass a wide range of styles, themes and techniques such as woodblock, etching, lithograph and silkscreen. Compact in size, the works of many masters are now within reach. Prices range from 4,700 yen to 190,000 yen.

All proceeds will go to CWAJ Scholarships and Fukushima Relief Projects.
