Exhibition Label: "Japan Re-imagined/Post-war Art," Mar-2008, Kris Ercums Kawachi is a brave, modern artist who boldly renders his personal dreams and fantasies into visual form by means of his own uniquely structured style of woodblock print art. His works are modern, yet what is captured in his personal world rings with the melodies of a pure and free soul celebrating life. His approach to woodblock print art is totally original, and constitutes a revitalization of this traditional Japanese art form, capturing the feelings and emotions and sensuality of modern man by means of the woodblock medium. ~ Mamoru Yonekura, 2003
