Hisaharu Motoda is said to be regarded by many as one of the rising stars in the world of printmaking. See how he depicts post-apocalyptic Tokyo’s central districts of Ginza, Shibuya, and Asakusain in his work called Neo-Ruins:Lithographs of post-apocalyptic Tokyo. I don’t really get why Japanese artists are fond of destroying Japan in their works.

Thanks for the link. That is some intense work. The Shibuya one is quite striking. I suppose with the earthquakes, fires and bombings, Tokyo keeps renewing itself in one way and it might only be natural to imagine that what’s there now will eventually be destroyed.
