Intended Audience : Scholarly and Professional -Art and art history professors and graduate students, Museum and gallery professionals , artists , design professionals , art collectors, curators , etc. Requiem for the Sun : The Art of Mono-ha (School of Things) is the most comprehensive study in English to date on the Postwar Japanese movement Mono-ha (School of Things) and examines the group’s practice in Tokyo between 1968 and 1972. This was the height of Japan’s political upheaval against the U.S-Japan Security Treaty, anti-Vietnam War protests and it’s oil crisis. The Mono-ha artists —who included Noburu Sekine, Lee Ufan, Kishio Suga and Koji Enokura —all distinguished themselves through an aesthetic detachment that , instead of “creating” things , strove instead to “rearrange” them into artworks that interacted with the spaces around them. While sharing certain traits with the Land Art and Minimalism movements that were taking place in the United States, and the Arte Povera movement in Italy , Mono-ha was ultimately a rejection of the Euro-American avant-garde and is now synonymous with the beginnings of contemporary art in Japan.
