61st CWAJ Print Show

Since its inception in 1956, the CWAJ Print Show has become a highly acclaimed and internationally recognized event.

Entering its seventh decade, the annual juried show relocates this year to the light-filled gallery space at Hillside Forum in Daikanyama, a leafy upscale neighborhood vibrant with art galleries, stylish cafes and restaurants.

The 61st CWAJ Print Show features 204 prints, all but a few produced after 2015, by 201 renowned artists including 29 first-time CWAJ Print Show exhibitors. Also included are five works by winners of our Young Printmaker Award for 2014 and 2017. The exhibition encompasses a wide range of styles, themes and techniques such as woodblock, intaglio, lithography and silkscreen. Prices range from ¥5,000 to ¥300,000.

Young talent is well represented in this comprehensive show along with masterpieces by doyens of the Japanese printmaking scene, including a rare new lithograph by Toko Shinoda.

The College Women’s Association of Japan is a not-for-profit volunteer women’s organization of approximately 450 members from 20 countries. All proceeds from the CWAJ Print Show will go to CWAJ Scholarship and Fukushima Relief Projects. To date, it has awarded more than 800 scholarships.

Open to the public, admission free.
