Paintings and objects have been exhibited as "works of art," but these "originals," which are printed media in their finished form, also have the aspect of manuscripts, so they have not been shown together in museums that mainly exhibit "works of art. Therefore, museums that mainly exhibit "works of art" have not had the opportunity to introduce them together.
For this reason, the contents of this exhibition are the first of their kind at the Yasuo Kozuki Museum of Art.
We hope you will take this opportunity to see the diversity of expression through the works of Yasuo Kozuki: bookbinding, illustrations, and cuts.
Please see the Nanavi event page " Exhibition "The Work of Yasuo Kouzuki - Bookbinding, Illustrations, and Cuts -".
