Asian Art: The Art of Mono Ha Requiem for the Sun The Art of Mono ha is the most comprehensive study in English to date on the postwar Japanese movement Mono ha School of Things and examines the group s practice in Tokyo between 1968 1972 at the height of the nation s political upheaval against the US Japan Security Treaty anti Vietnam War protests and its oil crisis The Mono ha artists who included Noburu Sekine Lee Ufan Kishio Suga and Koji Enokura all distinguished themselves through an aesthetic detachment that instead of creating things strove instead to rearrange them into artworks that interacted with the spaces around them While sharing certain traits with the Land Art and Minimalism movements that were taking place in the United States and the Arte overa movement in Italy Mono ha was timately a rejection of the Euro American avant garde and is now synonymous with the beginnings of contemporary art in Japan
