Erica Ward is a Tokyo-based watercolor artist with a knack for creating ingenious works related to Japan. For her latest exhibition, she’ll set her sights (and paintbrush) on the wonders of the Yamanote Line… with a bonsai twist.
What to expect
Erica Ward’s solo exhibition, Yamanote Bonsai, will display 30 brand-new illustrations for the 30 stations along the Yamanote Line. Using watercolor and ink, Ward has crafted imaginative pieces that fuse bonsai with these much-loved Tokyo areas. Branch out and see the city nestled in the crown of a momiji maple or a juniper bonsai.
All works are original and will be on sale at the gallery. Along with the pieces themselves, you can purchase art books and a selection of prints from the series, along with a wide array of other Erica Ward Illustration prints, posters, stickers, and more.
Note: On the final day of the event (Monday, December 2), the gallery will close at 2 p.m.
How to get there
The Yamanote Bonsai: Erica Ward Solo Exhibition will be held at Yoyogi Art Gallery, just 3 minutes’ walk from JR Harajuku Station.
