Innovative artists in 1960s Japan who made art in the wilderness--away from Tokyo, outside traditional norms, and with little institutional support--with global resonances.

1960s Japan was one of the world's major frontiers of vanguard art. As Japanese artists developed diverse practices parallel to, and sometimes antecedent to, their Western counterparts, they found themselves in a new reality of international contemporaneity (kokusaiteki dōjisei). In this book Reiko Tomii examines three key figures in Japanese art of the 1960s who made radical and inventive art in the wilderness--away from Tokyo, outside traditional norms, and with little institutional support.
