In mid July the exhibitions which have previously been on show in Kyoto now are touring Shimane Prefecture. The second display of the Polish-Japanese Print Exhibition in the Shimane Prefectural Museum in Matsue proved to be of the most popular cultural events, and attracted a large audience, as reports Mr. Akira Kurosaki. The exhibition was announced in the local press newspaper Sanin Chuou Shinnpo News Paper Co. The ongoing interest in Polish prints that were exhibited side by side with Japanese prints attracted about a thousand people in the first days of display. A few days of public holidays falling in Japan at that time may have contributed to a to such a large number of visitors at the exhibitions of professional as well as children’s work. The exhibition in Shimane Museum was enhanced by lectures of print artists from Kyoto, President Mr. Akira Kurosaki, who spoke about the Polish print and Mr. Atsue Sakazume, who disclosed the secrets of one of time honored traditional techniques of printmaking - mezzotint. An interesting arrangement of the exhibition in Shimane prepared Ms. Kyoko Takahashi
