- This long-form output results from a decade of innovative transnational and interdisciplinary research. Based on a variety of multilingual primary archival sources from private and public collections in Japan, USA, Germany and the UK, it reconstructs the role that Japanese calligraphy played in the global postwar avant-garde. Researched and written during multiple stays in East Asia, North America, and Europe, and formed during discussions and collaborations with English-, Japanese- and German-language academic and art communities, this is the first study in English dedicated to modern calligraphy history in Japan, which ambitiously challenges the established Eurocentric narratives of postwar abstract art.
