Synopsis:
Women have, most likely, always been involved in printmaking in Japan, but their activities—as artists, patrons, and critics—have been underrecognized historically. This talk provides a brief history of women’s various contributions to Japanese printmaking, focusing on women who were active as printmakers in the twentieth century.
