This catalogue is the most comprehensive study in Englishto date on the postwar Japanese movement Mono-ha (School of Things). It examines the group’s practice inTokyo between 1968-1972 at the height of the nation’s political upheaval against the US-Japan Security Treaty, anti-Vietnam War protests, and the oil crisis. The Mono-ha artists - including Nobuo Sekine, Lee Ufan, Kishio Suga and Susumu Koshimizu - all distinguished themselves through an aesthetic detachment and renewal of matter in response to the immanent loss of the object as a sun in Japanese postwar art practice.
