CWAJ Print Show 2026

CWAJ Print Show 2026 returns as the 69th edition of the prestigious annual contemporary Japanese print exhibition and sale organized by the College Women’s Association of Japan (CWAJ). Continuing a tradition that began in 1956, the Print Show provides a platform for artists to present and sell their work while introducing audiences to the creativity, diversity, and evolving techniques of Japanese printmaking.

The show welcomes visitors interested in Japanese art, printmaking, collecting, and contemporary artistic expression. An online gallery will also extend access to the featured works beyond the physical exhibition.

CWAJ Print Show is also an important part of CWAJ’s wider educational and charitable mission. Proceeds from print sales contribute to CWAJ’s scholarship and grant programs, which have supported Japanese and international students, visually impaired students, and print artists. The organization has awarded scholarships, grants, and awards to more than 900 students and artists through these initiatives.
