2013, Koya Abe, After Seba -- British Museum (London)
From the museum label: Koya Abe digitally altered Hiroshige's print Seba to convey the destruction caused by the Great Töhoku Earthquake on 11 March 2011. The boatmen, village and willows have vanished, but the landscape endures. Abe finds in Hiroshige's art, 'discipline, restraint, and purity. He engages with nature, people and society in a way that is understated, but attentive.'
