In July of this year, Yamaneko Gakuchō (Wildcat Painting & Haiku Notebook) was published, bringing together haiku that Yoko Yamamoto has composed over the past decade alongside her copperplate prints previously featured in the Yomiuri Shimbun.
For this exhibition, we present a selection of works chosen by the artist herself from this publication, displayed together with their accompanying haiku. In addition, works from Hamlet! Hamlet! and her Shakespeare series will also be on view. We warmly invite you to experience the exhibition.

The 2023 calendar is also available (¥1,300, tax included).
