The exhibition Japan. Tradition and innovation will be inaugurated at the Casa delle letterature in Rome on the 26th of June, and will then be open to the public and to all those who will decide to travel to Rome and, in a sense, to Japan as well. No wonder that Casa delle letterature has been chosen to host the event: since its creation, indeed, it has always been meant to make people discover other cultures, in particular those which have had some influence on western art, and for this reason it has always been a place where interculturality and multidisciplinarity have reigned. Also the exhibition Japan. Tradition and innovation is intended as an opportunity to discover another culture, the Japanese one, focusing in particular on Japanese fiction and illustration, and presenting both modern and ancient styles, movements and techniques, which have characterised different forms of art, from theatre to literature, from poetry to childrens illustration.To discover something more about these forms of artistic expression you only need to make a cheap hotel reservation in Rome and visit the exhibition, which includes a comparison between two important kinds of Japanese illustration: Ukiyo-e and manga. Ukiyo-e (literally pictures of the floating world), is a form of artistic Japanese woodblock printing which was very popular in the Edo period (1603 1867), when after a strong urbanization a new class of merchants and artisans, who used to write and paint, began to develop. At the end of the 19th century, with the development of photography and new techniques from Western countries, Ukiyo-e became less popular, but the xilographs that were realised in that period are still considered as important pieces of Japanese art, which everybody has the possibility to discover thanks to the exhibition hosted in Rome. Casa delle Letterature, in particular, will host some xilographs of the prestigious Contini collection, which were realised between 1803 and 1860 by important artists like Kitagawa Utamaro, Hasegawa Sadanobu, Utagawa Kunisada, Utagawa Kuniyoshi and Utagawa Hiroshige.However, the exhibition also focuses on contemporary forms of Japanese illustration, with highlight on mangas, which are already very popular also in western countries. Among the displayed works you will find drawings by Nakamura Hiroyuki, Tatsuro Ciuchi, Osamu Komatsu, Tomoko Matsumoto, Yuko Shimizu and Keitaro Sugihara, while in the manga section you will also find works realised by Italian artists like Federica Di Meo, Alice Esculapi, Giusy Oliva and Mariapia Vannucchi.
