Surrealism in Japan
Surrealism in Japan refers to the reception, translation, and local development of Surrealism in Japan from the late 1920s onward, across poetry, visual art, photography, publishing, and exhibition culture. Reference overviews commonly stress that there was no single cohesive surrealist group in Japan comparable to the Paris circle; instead, Japanese surrealism developed through diffuse circles, regional activity, and individual engagements under distinct historical conditions.
