Temporary housing - or, kasetsu jutaku, in Japanese - were needed to house residents whose houses were washed away in the tsunami of March 11, 2011. The tsunami sent a wall of water 10m high plowing through this part of Kamaishi, washing away people, cars and their houses. Hundreds lost their lives in Kamaishi. From the series, Kamaishi: after the Tsunami The works in this series are of the small coastal town of Kamaishi in the northeast Tohoku region of Japan. Kamaishi is a fishing village on a thin strip of land between the sea and the mountains. In fact, much of the town occupies just a few hundred meters of flat land. This position proved extremely precarious when the 2011 tsunami hit. Roughly half the houses here were washed away along with many of the inhabitants. But Kamaishi is resilient and is rebuilding. These works document the process. All works are signed, editioned and printed on lightweight handmade Japanese washi paper in water-based inks. Editions are limited to 50 unless otherwise stated.

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.
