KUNIO IZUKA
SERIES OF LINOCUTS
quoted from fairy tales by Kenji Miyazawa
January 2 – 26, 2025
After searching the most effective way to appeal for peace to the world, Kunio Izuka (1939-2020) finally achieved his solo exhibition WHERE ARE WE GOING? (1995) at the United Nations on the 50th anniversary of the atomic bombings. But holding the exhibition at United Nations was indeed a difficult journey. While fretting about his ambitious plan and wondering how human beings can get along and maintain peace, the poem Izuka had learned in elementary school and the name of poet Kenji Miyazawa suddenly came to mind. He read Miyazawa’s books again with fascination, selected 10 of his wonderful fairy tales, and made them into prints, which saved him from setbacks and confusion, and impelled him to continue to appeal for peace to people on the planet.

TOKYO GADAN was formed in 2020 by painters who “dedicate themselves to painting in pursuit of pure painterly expression” (Representative: Sonosuke Yukichika). Since then, as the leading figures in the Japanese and Western painting worlds, they have held such as two large-scale exhibitions at the Maruzen Marunouchi gallery, pursuing the creation of beauty. At this New York exhibition, six artists at the helm of the times exhibit approximately 35 works in an effort to spread this momentum even further around the world.
