Walter Bishop is a product designer and graphic artist born in Venezuela and raised in Spain. After seeing the actual Ukiyo-e in a museum in Tokyo, he was impressed by the design and form, various facial expression and movements seen in Ukiyo-e.

"A Thousand Generations" is a series of linocut printed pieces with beautiful contrasts of colours, inspired on the drawings of the daily matters in the Edo period. By printing a small image on a large piece of paper, it emphasizes the details of fine lines and uneven ink texture.

Visitors will have an opportunity to print an image on a paper and take it home.
