Graphic Japan - Da Hokusai Al Manga

For the first time in Italy, a major exhibition visually recounting the fundamental stages of Japanese graphic design in a journey from the Edo period (1603-1868) to the present day. A power and visual effectiveness marked by a deep connection between sign, image, and color that often merge characterizing in different but unique ways the artistic creation, craftsmanship, and commercial communication of this culture. A narrative that explodes and unfolds first in the fashionable graphic design of the floating world that condenses the original Japanese artistic knowledge, then in the technological evolution of the Meiji era that places graphic design at the service of industrial purposes, and finally in the post-war production that marks the contemporaneity of graphic design through posters and manga in an international context without losing its cultural identity.
