A journey in ink and watercolor from crowded Tokyo to the Kamakura coast.
In Scenes from Japan: Tokyo, Kyoto, and Kamakura, the first of three volumes in the series, artist Kendric Tonn documents a painting trip through Japan. Inspired by 20th-century Japanese printmakers like Kawase Hasui and Yoshida Hiroshi, Tonn set out on a ten-week journey through three cities to engage directly with Japan as a subject by drawing and painting on-location.
The result is a collection of over two dozen mixed-media watercolor paintings accompanied by short essays. The pieces cover a range of subjects, from the tranquil shrines and dramatic coasts to mundane apartment buildings and out-of-the-way parks.
With a preface by the artist and an introduction by novelist Max Gladstone, as well as a section on materials and process, Scenes from Japan is a record of travel and artistic practice. It will appear to those with an interest in Japanese aesthetics, plein air painters, and anyone interested in how place becomes image.
