In this exhibition curated by Tara Londi, eight international artists gave their rendition of the fundamental Japanese aesthetic concept.

19th-century photographs have captured the usually hidden tattoos that covered the bodies of the members of Japanese organised crime gangs.

'Burning' by filmmaker Lee Chang Dong is based on the short story 'Barn Burning' by the iconic Japanese writer, published in 1987.
