"Among the most significant changes to have occurred in our appreciation and understanding of post-war Japanese art is to no longer view it in isolation, but rather to view it as part of a larger international discourse. This volume will make a significant contribution to the field, and will be among the most critical resources available in English for new scholarship. For future generations, it will immensely enhance the understanding of contemporary Japanese art as a phenomenon that has both contributed to and participated in the globalization of art."—Paul Schimmel, Chief Curator, The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles and author of Out of Actions: Between Performance and the Object, 1949 –1979

"We have never really known Japan like this: From Postwar to Postmodern reveals a bracingly innovative, multifarious, and thoroughly international cultural sphere. A nuanced survey of primary texts betrays a roiling milieu in which form and content, modernism and tradition, realism and abstraction, things (mono) and ideas (koto) were hotly debated amid a historically specific context of violence, guilt, and trauma. New ways of working—from Gutai and Jikken Kobo’s intermedia experiments to collaborations in performance, architecture, and other disciplines—informed advanced art both within and beyond Japan. This book greatly enriches a discourse that is still unfolding today."—Michelle Kuo, Editor in Chief, Artforum
