In 1981, the Asian Performing Arts Summer Institute (APASI) at the University of California, Los Angeles, held a five and a half week "multi-dimensional program to provide access for the American public to these enduring Japanese [performance] arts" (APASI brochure). In addition to classes, lectures and performances, (some of which were held in New York City and others in Washington D.C.) the program also produced a series of posters. "The commemorative poster suite represents the works of twelve of Japan's leading graphic artists . . . working in a wide variety of styles, they are in the forefront of the Japanese design world and have collectively won every major international graphics award" (ibid). The original set was 12 posters. Group includes works by Yusaku Kamekura, Mitsuo Katsui and Shigeo Fukuda. Images available upon request.
