The Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation is delighted to introduce the unique works of the acclaimed Japanese artist Haruo Mitsuta to the UK public. 

Mitsuta is the only contemporary artist who makes Jizai Okimono (“articulated animals”) – flexible animal figures made from metal pieces, which can replicate the movements of the original animals. Originally they were made by armourers in the late Edo and the Meiji period. 

For this event, chaired by Manuela Moscatiello, Japanese Collection Curator of the Cernuschi Museum in Paris, Mitsuta will be joined in conversation by Giuseppe Piva, Director of the Giuseppe Piva Japanese Art Gallery in Milan, to discuss his practice, the works on show and the beauty behind Jizai Okimono.
