Textile artist ISHII TÅru presents an artist talk and technical lecture on "yuzen" dyeing techniques. He is one of six artists highlighted in the exhibition "ImayÅ: Japan's New Traditionists" on view at The Art Gallery at the University of Hawai‘i at MÄnoa (Oct. 2 – Dec. 2, 2016) and at the Honolulu Museum of Art (Oct. 13, 2016 – Jan. 9, 2017).
ISHII TÅru, a specialist in "itome" (fine-line) "yÅ«zen" silk dyeing, evokes colorful images of twenty-first century Japan, such as convenience stores, instant noodle packaging, and Tokyo Tower, spliced with traditional icons of pre-modern Japanese culture, such as samurai, Kabuki actors, and Mount Fuji.
