The Visionary Soul of Edo Horihiro

A visionary take on Ukiyo-e filtered through the contemporary mind of Japanese artist Edo Horihiro. Over 300 pages present two decades of his work, with illustrations, paintings and tattoos where samurais, geishas, snakes, ghosts, skeletons, demons, fantastic beasts and elements of nature become reinterpretations and visual worlds with new and different details.

Between tradition and innovation, Horihiro makes us jump in a world which swallows you up like a vortex and you come out the other side upside down, in a chaotic street market of contemporary humankind.

From brands of shoes, watches and icons of modern consumerism so dear to the hearts of the fashion addicts today as fans once were to geishas, weapons to samurai and demons and ghosts to popular tradition and belief. The classic images of Japanese culture and the layers added to the traditional subjects make Horihiro a new point of reference in the story of Ukiyo-e.
