Japanese art is ever-flourishing — especially today with artists such as Takashi Murakami and his Superflat movement paving the way for emerging creatives to elevate the genre. From the innocent to the more dangerously contentious artworks, virtuosos from the Land of the Rising Sun continue to borrow diverse influences from Western pop culture, eroticism, as well as traditional Japanese art to create original forms. One example is famed sculptor Haroshi who has made a new series of monster figurines out of skateboard decks.
From a tribute show for the legendary animator Hayao Miyazaki to immersive light installations by design consortium teamLab, take a look at noteworthy shows spotlighting renowned Japanese artists below.
