Recently the West has been inundated by a steady flow of images from manga, anime, and the video games that are a key part of todays Japanese visual culture. At the same time, Japanese contemporary artists are gaining a higher profile overseas: many Westerners are already familiar with Takashi Murakamis brightly colored, cartoonlike characters, or with Junko Mizunos grotes-cute Lolita-style girls. Perhaps less familiar are the absurd fighting machines of Kenji Yanobe, the many disguises of Tomoko Sawada, or the grotesque fairytale landscapes of Tomoko Konoike. Warriors of Art features the work of forty of the latest and most relevant contemporary Japanese artists, from painters and sculptors, to photographers and performance artists, with lavish full-color spreads of their key works. Author Yumi Yamaguchi offers an insightful introduction to the main themes of each artist, and builds up a fascinating portrait of the society that has given birth to them: a Japan that still bears the scars of atomic destruction, a Japan with a penchant for the cute and the childish, a Japan whose manga and anime industries have come to dominate the world. Warriors of Art takes its title from a phrase used to describe Taro Okamoto (1911-1996), perhaps the first truly influential contemporary artist to emerge in postwar Japan, who fought to bring modern art to a wider audience. Following in Okamotos footsteps, the forty artists featured in this book are a new generation of warriors, attacking our senses with a shocking mix of the cute, the grotesque, the sexy, and the violent, forcing us to sit up and take notice of their vision of Japan.

After its economic collapse in the 1990s, Japan's Superflat movement, epitomized by the work of Takashi Murikami and Yoshimoto Nara, catapulted these and like-minded artists onto the art world stage. Today, an exciting new wave of work follows in their wake. These diverse works reflect an acute consciousness of cultural tradition, while proposing visions of a globalized future. They work in a wide range of medium: drawing, installation, photography, sculpture, textiles, video and site-specific projects.

Japanese POP and CONTEMPORARY Art. For a number of years, the key phrase "Cool Japan" has gained popularrity around the world. The art, fashion, animation, cuisine and architecture that we Japanese have long taken for granted have beenlatched on to as new and exciting by consumers around the world. Arttists introduced here by BOOM are all contemporary art makers currently working in Japan. They vary in technique and age, and essentially have no common theme or genre. However, the one thread that links all of these artists is that, in this ever changing era, they continue to conceive and pursue new and unique methods of expression in their work. In every sense they are "artists living in the NOW". Through BOOM we hope audiences will experience that special "something" that is found in the very DNA of the Japanese people. That je ne sais quoi which has its basis in the traditions of Japanese art and is only emphasized through the expression and craftsmanship of the individual artists presented. These contemporary artists are the true life-breath of their generation. our greatest hope is that this volume may inspire an interest in both these extraordinary artists and their art.

See/Saw offers a provocative new look at the origins of Japanese pop art. Often defined by its references to manga or anime, contemporary Japanese art in fact has much broader roots. By drawing parallels between the art of Japan past and present, this compelling volume reveals how current artists rework the traditional forms and techniques of Japanese art history. Modern takes on time-honored conventions are illustrated by the work of a star-studded roster of contemporary artists including Tabaimo, Makoto Aida, Takashi Murakami, Yoshitomo Nara, and Yayoi Kusama. Aficionados of both contemporary and traditional Japan are sure to appreciate this fresh perspective on art and the power of visual culture.
