In this edition of the MIMOCA Magazine we look at printmaker Shiko Munakata (1903–1975), plus Sofu Teshigahara, Hiroshi Teshigahara, and Michel Tapié, also guests at the Inokuma home in New York, focusing primarily on works from the collection that show the association between Munakata and Genichiro Inokuma.
