We are pleased to present “Passage to the Future: Art from a New Generation in Japan,” an exhibition that focuses on art being produced in Japan at the beginning of the 21st century. It showcases the work of eleven younger artists who are presently attracting a great deal of attention.

 

The 1990s saw major shifts in the economic and political order of the world, and many people have responded by turning away from larger issues and concentrating on smaller and more intimate areas of life, in essence, reexamining the ground under their own feet. In contemporary art as well, there has been a worldwide tendency for artists to take a greater interest in everyday life and focus on the expression of very personal perceptions and feelings.

 

This exhibition presents paintings, sculptures, installations, photographs, and video works by eleven Japanese artists who are responding in a similar way to the current state of the world. They take their subject matter from their immediate surroundings and make art work that strongly reflects their own personal reality. Their work has a rich visual impact and reveals a strong interest in the process of making things.

 

This exhibition will allow viewers to experience the freshness and vitality of current Japanese art and at the same time provides an opportunity for renewed thinking and debate about the fundamental appeal and meaning of art.

Design a Furoshiki (Wrapping Cloth) !
Submit a Design and Contribute to International Cultural Exchange

Furoshiki, or wrapping cloths, are stylish and distinctive everyday items emblematic of the Japanese tradition of wrapping things. Since they are reusable and therefore do not impose a burden on the environment, furoshiki have attracted renewed interest in recent years, both in Japan and elsewhere.

In 2009 the Japan Foundation held an Original Furoshiki Design Contest, soliciting submissions from students of design in 10 countries. A total of 373 entries were submitted, and three were selected to receive top prizes. Furoshiki displaying the top prize designs are now on sale at museum gift shops and other venues in Japan.

The Japan Foundation is pleased to announce its second International Furoshiki Design Contest for students — specifically, university and college students around the world who are the designers of the future. One entry will be awarded the grand prize and three others will be awarded prizes for excellence; these four designs will be used to produce JF Original Furoshiki, thereby helping to promote interaction with other countries.

We look forward to seeing your entries.
