Anno Mitsumasa - “ANNO’S JOURNEY”.

During the 1970’s Anno produced a series of works using Japanese paper cutting techniques. These initially focused on well known Japanese folk tales.

“There are differences in people, different styles of housing, social differences, different cultures, all over the world. But perhaps what lies at the bottom of the heart of each human being is the same - an inherent value.” Anno Mitsumasa

4me4you..the works featured in the exhibition were beautifully detailed and portrayed, showing past and present works from Anno Mitsumasa.

The illiterate is just like the blindfolded – misfortune and bad luck awaits him everywhere.
