A Festival of Contemporary Japanese Printmaking Art was opened in Sofia. The exhibition includes the presentation of seven contemporary Japanese artists and comes under the Contemporary Art Prints From Japan and Bulgaria project which started in 2001 with the first exhibition in Sofia and was followed by exhibitions in Kyoto Museum for Modern Art and Tokyo Metropolitan Museum. The Japanese artists have all worked seeking new expressions through the techniques of print. They belong to the Japan Print Association, which has held a public print exhibition annually each spring in Japan. Each of them has created the works being conscious of the strong possibilities of the graphic art techniques.
