The "Homage to Ukiyoe" project, first exhibited as part of the Tokyo Design Week in Milano Salone 2015, enabled six of the world's most renowned comtemporary artists and designers to become ukiyo-e (traditional Japanese woodcut print) artists. Collaborating with the carvers and printers of the Adachi Institute of Woodcut Prints, and guided by the "Homage to Ukiyoe" theme, these currently active creators produced contemporary ukiyo-e expressing their own individual interpretations of the woodcut prints of Japan's Edo period (1603–1867) that influenced Van Gogh and Monet. The participating creators included Dan Schlesinger, who is famous for creating the cover art for the Japanese edition of the Harry Potter series, and James Jean, who has designed artwork for Prada.
