The study of mokuhanga printmaking offers a way to create better international relationships, cultivating and nurturing harmonious living to promote a better future. Today, we reflect on our position as artists and feel the importance of participating in bridge building more than ever. We hope this conference will be significant for everyone and provide an opportunity for better international understanding through a study of the traditional Japanese printmaking technique of mokuhanga. These presenters have established themselves internationally with their art practice and their way of living. We want all the conference participants to be inspired by the innovative approaches of our keynote speakers to become more mindful what’s happening around us. It will take place in Hawaii, the land of Aloha, the land of ho’oponopono, an ancient Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness. The International Mokuhanga Conference 2017 will focus on “Beauty of Mokuhanga: Discipline and Sensibility” as the theme of the conference.
