Koh-jutsu means “fine technique” in Japanese. Tsutomu Ikeuchi has organized the serial exhibition entitled Koh-jutsu at SPIRAL Art Gallery in Tokyo every year since 2010, with the aim of indicating the current essence and future image of Japanese art. The exhibition series introduces art works that feature delicate skill but have powerful impact, demonstrating unique approaches to the manipulation of a wide variety of media to highlight the technical virtuosity of select Japanese artists. In Ikeuchi’s lecture, he will explain his concept of Koh-jutsu, discuss the work by artists included in this exhibition series, and explain how and why Japanese art and craft has long been associated with exquisite “fine technique.”
