OKASHI

Michael Hoppen is delighted to present OKASHI, our long-awaited exhibition of all things Japanese – neither a delicate vision of 'The Floating World,' nor the kawaii kitsch of Hello Kitty’s homeland. Displaying a kaleidoscope of works from across different periods and media, this selection represents the gallery’s longstanding interest in Japan, to illustrate an eclectic understanding of its rich visual culture. Spanning photography, textiles, avant-garde theatre posters, woodblock prints and unusual objects such as netsuke and harigata, this selection seeks to contextualise the gallery’s longstanding interest in Japan.
