Japanese artist Koya Abe created a series of digital prints as a poignant response to the earthquake and tsunami that struck north-east Japan in March 2011, in which thousands lost their lives. Abe has taken images of famous Edo-period landscape and figure prints by artists such as Hokusai, Hiroshige and Kuniyoshi and radically altered them to remove almost all evidence of human culture from view. Even Mount Fuji, which dominates the landscape in several of the original prints, has been eradicated in Abe’s works, emblematic of the toll that the earthquake took physically and nationally on the Japanese psyche.

In our next post you will see the original colour woodblock print by Hokusai, on which this image is based.
