Exhibitions and Collaborations
Nihonlux aims to spread Japanese art and culture to the world. We have collaborated with museums and embassies to promote Japan worldwide.
Here you can find records of current and past exhibitions, projects and partnerships.
Yōkai: Monsters, Spirits, and Other Hauntings explores the fantastical world of monsters from Japanese tradition, featuring more than one hundred and fifty works produced during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Among these are antique woodblock prints, rare books and hand-carved masks, as well as weapons and armour.
The exhibition is curated by Paola Scrolavezza, one of the leading Nipponists in Italy and director of the Department of Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures at the University of Bologna, and Eddy Wertheim, director of Japanese Gallery Kensington.

Gli SHINHANGA
This year, we are pleased to collaborate with Vertigo Syndrome to bring a new exhibition to the Musei di San Salvatore in Lauro in Rome.
Gli Shinhanga is an exhibition which explored the revival of Ukiyo-e and the merging of Japanese Art with Western art techniques to create the New Print movement (Shinhanga). On display, there are over 200 unique woodblock prints along with theatre masks and hand carved wood netsuke.
The exhibition is curated by Paola Scrolavezza, one of the leading experts on Japanese art and culture in Italy and a professor in the University of Bologna. It is also in collaboration with Nihonlux.
