Since 1967, the Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs has been helping ship promising artists overseas to spend some quality time with masters of their respective disciplines. In the late '90s, the agency presumably realised that the public might be interested in the fruits of these activities, and so the annual Domani exhibition was born.
This year's exhibition features seven promising newcomers including Kito Kengo, Takemura Kei, and Hakamata Kyotaro, who will showcase their Japanese contemporary art in all its real, globally-attuned rawness.
