More than 180 artists living and working in Japan created the 212 fine art prints in the College Women's Association of Japan Print Show Collection. The prints, dating primarily from 2003 to 2005, encompass a rich diversity of styles, printmaking techniques, and subject matter. The CWAJ show, an annual event in Tokyo, Japan, since 1956, is a renowned venue for contemporary Japanese creative print art, known as hanga. A jury of leading Japanese art curators selected
the 50th anniversary show prints and included both
emerging printmakers and such long-established artists
as Toko Shinoda, Fumio Kitaoka, and Reika Iwami.
Non-Japanese creators include Clifton Karhu, Daniel
Kelly and Joel Stewart. Biographical sketches for
all the participating artists can be found in the
50th CWAJ Print Show catalogue. (Call Number: NE771.4
