• "Superflat: An Exhibition of Provocative Contmeporary Japanese Art" .
• Henry Art Gallery, University of Washington .
• An exhibition of cutting-edge contemporary Japanese art, Superflat surveys a tendency to combine techniques of mass production and media manipulation with a traditional Japanese emphasis on outline and flat areas of color-blurring the boundaries between art and illustration. ...
• The term superflat was coined by Murakami to describe the simplified and increasingly two-dimensional forms that have become the staple of a hip, new visual language employed by a generation of young Japanese artists. Whereas the tendency toward superflatness can be traced to the simplified aesthetic of contemporary pop culture and the Japanese cartoon culture of manga and anime, Murakami suggests a direct line of historical descent from the stylistic conventions of 17th, 18th and 19th-century Japanese prints, among other historical sources. ... Superflat artists continually contradict what is considered appropriate behavior or good taste in mainstream Japanese culture. Further, the artists in Superflat work between the established boundaries of their respective genres, whether between fine art photography and commercial portraiture, between painting and illustration or between street fashion and sci-fi theatrical costuming. ...
• Henry Art Gallery Chief Curator Elizabeth Brown explains, In Japan, Generation X or twenty-somethings are known as shinjinrui, literally 'new human race. ... Though kawaii or cute imagery is predominant in Japanese pop culture, many artists corrupt it with sexual and violent content. Multi-media artist Yoshitomo Nara, and Murakami himself, have made an enormous impact on international contemporary art with works that combine adult or complex content with ostensibly angelic protagonists. ...
• Superflat is an exhibition that began small-in Parco Gallery, Tokyo and subsequently Nagoya-then grew larger as Takashi Murakami reconstituted it for the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art and its selected tour: the Walker Art Gallery in Minneapolis and the Henry Art Gallery in Seattle. Through this exhibition, the provocative art called superflat has become a global phenomenon. Superflat ends its acclaimed tour at The Henry Art Gallery. ...

• ABOUT FACES IN JAPANESE ART.
•    A VERY interesting essay upon the Japanese art collections in the National Library was read by Mr. ... Strange proved his appreciation of Japanese art by an exposition of its principles,--the subordination of detail to the expression of a sensation or idea, the subordination of the particular to the general. He spoke especially of the decorative element in Japanese art, and of the Ukiyo-yé school of color-printing. ... " He referred to the immense industrial value of Japanese stencil designs. ...
• the advantage likely to be gained in the art of book illustration from the careful study of Japanese methods; and he indicated the influence of those methods in the work of such artists as Aubrey Beardsley, Edgar Wilson, Steinlen Ibels, Whistler, Grasset, Cheret, and Lantrec. Finally, he pointed out the harmony between certain Japanese principles and the doctrines of one of the modern Western schools of Impressionism.
• Strange's just but almost enthusiastic admiration of Japanese art could pass without challenge was not possible; yet one would scarcely have anticipated a challenge from the ranks of the Japan Society itself. ... The idea that English artists could learn anything important from the study of Japanese methods was practically pooh-poohed; and the criticisms made by various members indicated that the philosophic part of the paper had been either misunderstood or unnoticed. One gentleman innocently complained that he could not imagine "why Japanese art should be utterly wanting in facial expression. " Another declared that there could never have been any lady like the ladies of the Japanese prints; and he described the faces therein portrayed as "absolutely insane. ...
•    Then came the most surprising incident of the evening,--the corroboration of these adverse criticisms by his excellency the Japanese Minister, with the apologetic remark that.
• In this he reflected faithfully the Japanese Zeitgeist, which can scarcely now endure the foreign praise of Japanese art. Unfortunately, those dominated by the just and natural martial pride of the hour do not reflect that while the development and maintenance of great armaments--unless effected with the greatest economical caution--might lead in short order to national bankruptcy, the future industrial prosperity of the country is likely to depend in no small degree upon the conservation and cultivation of the national art sense. Nay, those very means by which Japan won her late victories were largely purchased by the commercial results of that very art sense to which his excellency seemed to attach no importance. ...
• Strange's essay were unjust to Japanese art, they were natural, and indicated nothing worse than ignorance of that art and miscomprehension of its purpose. It is not an art of which the meaning can be read at a glance: years of study are necessary for a right comprehension of it. I cannot pretend that I have mastered the knowledge of its moods and tenses, but I can say truthfully that the faces in the old picture-books and in the cheap prints of to-day, especially those of the illustrated Japanese newspapers, do not seem to me in the least unreal, much less "absolutely insane. ...

Probably being aware of this, I felt that an outsider's view is rather strong in the book, as she discusses Japanese art in terms of the two axes of indigenous and imported traditions, and regards domestication as an important issue throughout. However, I found the introduction very interesting, especially her notes on the coexistence of contradictory aspects in Japanese art, such as complete mirroring of foreign elements and introspective and insular tendency. The following chapters are rather disappointing that her insights are not very well demonstrated in dealing with individual works of art.
