Image courtesy of the artist; Aki Sasamoto, Phase Transition, January 2020, Danspace Project, NYC. Photography by Ian Douglas NEW YORK, September 10, 2020— From Here to There is Japan Society's first online, visual arts commissioned project initiated as a testing ground for artistic practice, dialogue, and production. Within the extraordinary context of 2020, this dynamic platform reflects upon the current moment and responds to our collective resilience through artistic expression, presenting a new series of disciplinary intersections and encounters that includes performance, drawing, photography, and installation. Informed by the present cultural conditions, From Here to There introduces new online commissions by three contemporary artists, Nobutaka Aozaki (New York), Hanako Murakami (Paris), and Aki Sasamoto (New York), whose projects reckon with time, place, and context. Unfolding over the exhibition’s run of four months, each project takes its own direction and interpretation through its respective medium, and attempts to collapse the distinctions particularly resonant today: isolation/community; physical/digital; illusions of control/agency.

  • THE TALE of GENJI a ­Japanese ­Classic ­Illuminated the TALE of GENJI a Japanese Classic Illuminated
    THE TALE OF GENJI a japanese classic illuminated THE TALE OF GENJI a japanese classic illuminated With its vivid descriptions of courtly society, gar- dens, and architecture in early eleventh-century Japan, The Tale of Genji—recognized as the world’s first novel—has captivated audiences around the globe and inspired artistic traditions for one thou- sand years. Its female author, Murasaki Shikibu, was a diarist, a renowned poet, and, as a tutor to the young empress, the ultimate palace insider; her monumental work of fiction offers entry into an elaborate, mysterious world of court romance, political intrigue, elite customs, and religious life. This handsomely designed and illustrated book explores the outstanding art associated with Genji through in-depth essays and discussions of more than one hundred works. The Tale of Genji has influenced all forms of Japanese artistic expression, from intimately scaled albums to boldly designed hanging scrolls and screen paintings, lacquer boxes, incense burners, games, palanquins for transporting young brides to their new homes, and even contemporary manga. The authors, both art historians and Genji scholars, discuss the tale’s transmission and reception over the centuries; illuminate its place within the history of Japanese literature and calligraphy; highlight its key episodes and characters; and explore its wide-ranging influence on Japanese culture, design, and aesthetics into the modern era. 368 pages; 304 color illustrations; bibliography; index THE TALE OF GENJI THE TALE OF GENJI a japanese classic illuminated John T.
