Japanorama is the book version of the catalogue for the Japanorama exhibition (published in French) that was held at the Centre Pompidou-Metz (in the city of Metz), a branch of the Centre Pompidou in Paris, in 2017. Consisting of texts by eleven Japanese and French writers as well as introductions to the artists and exhibition materials, it is our hope that this book will go beyond the catalogue and become an important reference that discusses and introduces audiences to contemporary Japanese art and visual culture.
