The Adachi UKIYOE Award is an international competition seeking artists to create new ukiyo-e for today. The Award is based on the traditional collaborative system of ukiyo-e production, in which the eshi (artist) creates the original design, the horishi (carver) carves the woodblocks, and the surishi (printer) prints the image. Contemporary artists are invited to take on the role of the eshi, bringing their own visual language and ideas to this centuries-old process. In its 18th edition, the first- and second-prize winners will create new designs with professional carvers and printers in Japan.
