About Edo Avant-Garde

Edo Avant-Garde (external link) reveals the pivotal role Japanese artists of the Edo era (1603–1868) played in setting the stage for the Modern Art movement in the West. To capture the dynamism, scale, and meticulous details of the art, one of Japan’s master cinematographers worked with Sony’s cutting-edge 4K camera and filmed 200 works of art in museums and private collections across the US and Japan. Curators, restorers, collectors, and scholars provide insights into the genesis of their mesmerizing visions.
