About The Artwork

The poet is Taylor Mignon and the poem can be found in his anthology, 'Japlish Whiplash (Printed Matter Press, 2010). From the series, Occasional Portraits The works in this series are dedicated to people. Many are drawn from the ex-pat poetry reading and live music scene in Tokyo.

All works are signed, editioned and printed on lightweight handmade Japanese washi paper in water-based inks. Editions are limited to 150 unless otherwise stated. Work is despatched unframed in tubes.

Japan
Jotokyo has been making printed and painted artworks in Tokyo since 1996 when he abandoned home in England for a new one in Japan. Criss-crossing the city on its spiderweb network of train and subway lines, he has studied the complexity of its geometric lines and its faces; its cloud formations and its pinpoints of green. These are the themes of his work. Jotokyo is a western woodcut printmaker who works in the east. His work is closer in style to Kirchner than to Munakata. Yet, some aspects of Japanese printmaking are evident in both imagery and process. No presses are used, and all work is printed by hand using a Japanese baren to rub ink onto washi paper. Editions are limited, signed and occasionally stamped. Work is printed on lightweight handmade Japanese washi paper and delivered unframed in tubes.
