Our Japanese-inspired collection features artworks that range widely in style, theme and technique, but that all draw inspiration from Japanese aesthetics and culture.
Japanese art has had a huge influence on artists around the world, who have sought to emulate traditional Japanese art forms such as woodblock prints, calligraphy, and ink-wash painting. Japanese pop culture has provided a wealth of source material to inspire and influence artists, as comic books known as manga and anime, animated films and television, feature intriguing, vibrant characters and imaginary worlds which have unsurprisingly captured the imagination of many of our artists, including Tom Lewis. The elegance of Japanese traditional dress and kimonos have also been incorporated into artworks, as their distinctiveness, craftsmanship, and attention to detail create beautiful designs. The landscapes, cityscapes, and blossom that are associated with Japan have been represented by Lene Bladjberg and Kristjana S Williams, whilst Horace Panter created a series based on vending machines he spotted around Tokyo. Whether you have visited Japan or not, explore our Japanese collection and see how Japan, and its tradition, innovation, and consideration for nature and the human experience have inspired artists across the world.
