Karen Knorr first visited Japan after the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. Since 2012, her photographic series has explored Japanese wildlife, customs, mythology, and heritage. Set in temples, shrines, and gardens across Japan, the images evoke Edo-period screen art and draw on ukiyo-e, Buddhist tales, Shinto myth, and supernatural folklore. Referencing the Kano school’s 16th-century golden screens, Knorr connects Japan’s artistic past with contemporary culture.
