Mānoa Campus, Art Building, The Art Gallery Add to Calendar

The juried international exhibition "Beauty of Mokuhanga: Discipline & Sensibility" celebrates the Third International Mokuhanga Conference, which is being held outside of Japan for the first time. "Mokuhanga," a traditional Japanese woodblock printing technique, is widely recognized through "ukiyo-e" prints that were popular during the Edo period (1603–1868).

The conference, scheduled for September 28 – October 1 at the Hawaii Imin International Conference Center, nurtures the discipline of "mokuhanga" and its special sensibilities, and also fosters its innovative uses.

Featuring 100 "mokuhanga" prints and hand-printed artists’ books by 68 artists from around the world, this exhibition presents the history of "mokuhanga," and promotes the study, practice, and appreciation of "mokuhanga" printmaking in the global art community.

Donkey Mill Art Center, the home of the Holualoa Foundation for Arts and Culture on the Big Island, is organizing and hosting the third International Mokuhanga Conference and exhibition.

Special events: All events are free and open to the public.
