The exhibition of the series of woodblock prints "Tamakagiru" and etchings "Shiratama" at Ikeda Bijutsu and Art Zone Kaguraoka, reaches its final destination and is on show at Kagoshima's Mizuho Oshiro Gallery. There was a lively atmosphere and good attendance on 4 July for the talk given by Noe Aoki. The exhibition runs until 31 August, so if you happen to be in southern Kyushu for your summer vacation please drop by!
The new prints are an Edition Works publication. However, each gallery has its own individual show, which include Aoki's new sculptures, drawings, as well as some of her previous prints.
The new prints are also introduced in the 124th issue of 'Hanga Geijutsu' magazine (published by Abe Publishing Ltd) in the 'New Edition' section on pages 122-123. The article features an interview with Aoki as well as photographs of her prints. Please take a look!

| AI YAMAGUCHI |
The sponsor for Ai Yamaguchi's exhibition "Sukutoko" last year in Los Angeles was shu uemura. Then this year, both sides conceived an idea for a new project. As a collaboration between shu uemura and Yamaguchi, the packages of shu uemura's main product of cleansing oil would be colored and modified by Yamaguchi. It would then be released in ten countries. The characteristics of Yamaguchi's figures were matched with each of the features of the four different types of oil. With the release of that product, Edition Works was commissioned by shu uemura to make the commemorative lithograph "Akuhitohana". However, this work was made as a gift for VIPs of various countries connected to shu uemura and is not available for purchase. Therefore, the opportunities to see this work in the future are few.
On 8 July the presentation to the press of this product was held at the Spiral Hall in Aoyama, where the lithograph was also on show. With Yamaguchi's images and shu uemura's products installed around them both Yamaguchi and Shu Uemura gave a talk, after which they also gave a performance with each of them painting (as can be seen in the images below).
