Finding Space

The scene inside a rush-hour train is illustrated within a decorative border delineated using the traditional techniques of Canada's indigenous Haida people. Two "salarymen" are portrayed symmetrically to the right and left, their uniform appearances and Noh mask-like facial expressions incisively satirizing modern society.

Yahgulanaas was born in 1954 on Canada's Haida Gwaii archipelago. Alongside participating in racial politics on behalf of Canada's indigenous Haida people, he is active as an artist across a wide range of Haida art forms, including songs, dancing, sculpture, painting, and drawing. Over time, he established his own expressive style called Haida Manga, which fused the Japanese manga style that had influenced him with the traditional arts of the Haida people. He has exhibited works in many countries worldwide.

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.
