Highlights include historic folding screens and iconic woodblock prints, video works, pop art, and contemporary photographs by Nobuyoshi Araki, Ryuji Miyamoto, Takashi Hamaguchi and Sohei Nishino.
With new commissions by contemporary artists, loans from Japan and treasures from the Ashmolean’s own collections, the show provides a fascinating insight into the development of Tokyo into one of the world’s most important cultural hotspots.
