Kisho Kurokawa, a prominent architect in the 1960s Metabolism movement, is best known for the Nakagin Capsule Tower (demolished in 2022). His woodcut prints combine sketches, architectural drawings, photographs, and even drafts of business cards, reflecting hisfreewheeling creativity unfettered by preconceptions. Large blank spaces in his compositions emphasize the textures of washi paper and woodblocks, and with their sophisticated compositions, the works look well suited to contemporary residential interiors.
If you order the framed print, we will take approximately 2 weeks for shipping.

Works exhibited at the "UKIYO-E IN PLAY" exhibition (April 22 - June 15, 2025, Tokyo National Museum, Hyokeikan)
In its first phase, the “Japanese Woodcut Prints Today” project featured five artists – Kiyoshi Awazu, Ikko Tanaka , Mitsuo Katsui , Makoto Wada , and Shoji Yamafuji – while the second phase put architect Kisho Kurokawa in the role of a contemporary artist. The first phase culminated in a 1979 exhibition, and the second phase in a 1981 exhibition, both at the Riccar Art Museum in Tokyo. At the time, art critic Yusuke Nakahara observed that some participating artists explored ukiyo-e imagery and the unique characteristics of woodcuts’ compositions and color schemes, while others appear to have intentionally moved away from them. This project reflects the exploration and experimentation of the 1970s and 1980s, a time when the role and significance of traditional woodcut printing techniques were being radically reconsidered.
