Jason Fujiwara studied printmaking at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. He is currently a practising mokuhanga artist, residing in Tokyo, Japan.
He is both Australian and Japanese and explores themes related to cultural diversity, especially relating to landscapes and identity, and how they relate to each other.
He often documents his journeys, similar to a visual diary, throughout Japan and Australia via photography, then re-interprets them as an in-between world of East-meets-West.
Landscape is a personal exploration of self discovery, documenting where he’s been and what he’s seen. He is exploring notions of identity through landscape.
Jason is the creator of Art Hikes, leading groups of people on sketching and drawing tours and mokuhanga workshops around Japan and Taiwan.
