Art Fair Tokyo 2020, due to run from 19 to 22 March, was cancelled in view of the spread of the new coronavirus.
The fair is off, but over eleven days covering the same period Gallery SHUKADO presents “Kiso / Kaiso: Wild Imaginings, Joyful Imaginings”. The kiso painters brought a startling inventiveness to Japanese art in the Edo period. Alongside Ito Jyakuchu and other historical figures, four contemporary artists set out to bring in a further gust of fresh air, and to do it for the wider world.
Please see our note on measures against the new coronavirus and what we ask of visitors.

She herself has been traveling through China, Taiwan, and Japan and now Europe, updating her experience and world.
