Nana Shiomi is working on another series of Tea Bowls — on a more extensive scale. One of them for example, features movement. Her Tea Bowl prints featured in the V&A collection inspire her and is the perfect vehicle of her philosophy. 

In addition to this, the Pallant House Gallery, Chichester has accepted 29 of Shiomi’s masterpieces into their permanent collection. In commemoration of this donation, Pallant House Gallery will hold a solo exhibition of her works in the Autumn (2024).

Nana Shiomi makes contemporary woodcut prints. After a period of examining Western art, Shiomi moved on to consider her own Japanese culture within her prints. Shiomi often refers to masterpieces from the Japanese ukiyo-e tradition in her work. Her printing approach can be described technically as a combination of relief/intaglio and water-based woodcut printmaking. It is rooted in traditional Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock printmaking, printing by hand with a Baren, to which she has added her experimental printing techniques.
