SUMMARY:Street Nihonga: The Art of Jimmy Tsutomu Mirikitani
DESCRIPTION:Street Nihonga: The Art of Jimmy Tsutomu Mirikitani explores the life and work of Jimmy Tsutomu Mirikitani (1920–2012)\, whose art blends traditional Japanese aesthetics with the rawness of street life in New York City. Born in Sacramento\, California\, in 1920 and raised in Hiroshima\, Japan\, Mirikitani lived a life shaped by displacement\, resilience\, collaboration\, and creativity across borders. Trained in Nihonga (“Japanese-style” painting) in prewar Japan\, he returned to the United States in 1940 and endured wartime incarceration at Tule Lake\, the loss of family and friends in Hiroshima to the atomic bombing\, and decades of statelessness and homelessness in postwar New York City. His art—spanning painting\, drawing\, collage\, and mixed media—became both a survival strategy and a way to transform memories of his transpacific journey and Japanese American experiences into shared testimony. With more than 160 artworks\, Street Nihonga brings together the largest assembly of Mirikitani’s works to date. Mirikitani’s art invites viewers to engage with his extraordinary life stories beyond national divides\, emphasizing artmaking’s power as a means of survival\, political expression\, and cross-cultural dialogue.
