Echoes of Japan

In Dreaming of Japan, ikonoTV presents a serene dialogue between Vincent van Gogh and Utagawa Hiroshige. Van Gogh, captivated by Japanese ukiyo-e prints, reimagined Hiroshige’s compositions such as Plum Park in Kameido and Sudden Shower over Shin-Ōhashi Bridge, infusing them with his own expressive brushwork and vibrant palette. This silent, slow-paced video invites viewers to contemplate the fusion of Eastern and Western aesthetics, revealing how Van Gogh’s admiration for Japanese art shaped his vision and led him to find a sense of peace in his own creations.
